Pima County’s new Intranet is going live
The Information Technology Department has completed its pilot testing of a new County Intranet and is ready to make the page available to all departments. The new site launches Oct. 26 and features an easy-to-navigate, searchable interface that is mobile-friendly.
The most significant improvement is the ability for departments to easily update and change department intranet pages themselves. Web IT will be migrating all existing Intranet content to the new Intranet page and departments will be trained over the course of the next several months on how to update their pages.
