Today many employees struggle with many different and usually complicated information systems in their daily work. Our idea is to combine the most commonly used administrative information systems with best innovations of modern social media into a single modular on-line platform.

The platform contains the most commonly used administrative systems such as CRM, work time planning, project management, file sharing, and corporate announcements. These features can be easily accessed and all use the same common interface.

The platform also contains basic information, such as special skills and status in the organization, of each employee. Employees are connected to projects, and every project has its own page where its progress can be tracked in real time as the project members register their hours and progress into the project. Every employee uses a calendar which can be seen by others and from which the working hours automatically go to the corresponding projects. Project chat windows and frequent status and task updates can be used for convenient information sharing. Status updates can be seen also cross-project by whomever they may concern. Also conference calls can easily be made when needed via FSI. Everything is linked together in same fashion as in Facebook, and the amount of metadata embedded greatly enhances organizational learning.

A dedicated idea section, or forum, makes it easy for employees to register the ideas they come up in their daily work. Ideas that are visible to and can be commented by everyone greatly increases whole organization’s participation to creating innovations and improving processes.

FSI facilitates daily administrative processes and forces every employee to use it, which in turn strengthens the effect of its social applications and knowledge sharing. Such a social network can prove an invaluable asset to any company.
