Implementing a Wiki for your Enterprise 

Intranet

We purchased, customised and launched a pilot 

Wiki intranet within two weeks and with a budget of 

$11,000  AUD. This included all graphic design and 

single sign on integration.

After evaluating a wide range of alternatives including 

MediaWiki, Twiki and FlexWiki, we selected Confluence 

by Atlassian. Our main concerns were support for a hier-

archy of pages, strong attachment capabilities, news 

features, LDAP integration,  high-  quality search and a 

decent rich text editor.

Our customisation focussed almost completely on 

usability. People shouldn’t know or care that they are 

using a Wiki. All that matters is that they can easily 

browse, search and contribute content. (In fact, after 

16 months, only a small set of  Janssen-  Cilag staff would 

think of our intranet as a Wiki. To them, it just seems 

natural that intranet software would have evolved to 

something this simple to use.)
