Private Enterprise Community: Why Your Company Can't Wait Any Longer

The Problem: Scattered and Disorganized Communication

How many times does this happen in your company:

• Important emails get lost in overflowing inboxes

• Strategic information reaches people who shouldn't see it

• External partners have no structured communication channel

• Employees receive communications irrelevant to their role

• The board struggles to find a reserved and secure space

The solution? A private enterprise community with intelligent segmentation.

What is a Private Enterprise Community

It's a protected and personalized digital ecosystem that brings together all key players in the company on a single platform:

• Employees (at all levels)

• Management and middle managers

• Board and C-level

• Commercial partners and external stakeholders

Why "private"?

✓ Total security: data stays within the company perimeter
✓ Complete control: you decide who sees what
✓ Guaranteed compliance: GDPR and privacy regulations respected
✓ Zero dispersion: no sensitive information on public platforms

The Heart of the System: Advanced Segmentation

The real power lies in profiling flexibility. Each user can belong to multiple clusters simultaneously.

How to Segment Users

By organizational role:

• Operational employees

• Middle management

• Executives

• Board members

By department:

• Marketing

• Sales

• Finance

• Operations

By geography:

• Headquarters

• National branches

• International offices

By project:

• Cross-functional teams

By stakeholder type:

Practical Example

Marco is:

• Employee in the Marketing department

He will automatically receive content relevant to all four of these identities, without information overload.

Targeted Communication: The Right Message to the Right People

Once users are profiled, the magic happens in intelligent content distribution.
