Frequently Asked Questions About Intranet Development Services
What is intranet development?
Intranet development is the process of planning, building and deploying a private internal network for an organisation. Unlike a public website, an intranet is accessible only to employees and authorised users.
Development typically includes information architecture, user interface design, content management, document libraries, access controls and integration with existing business systems. A well-developed intranet becomes the central hub for company news, project updates, training materials and internal communication.
Mint Group delivers intranet development on Microsoft 365 and SharePoint Online. Our SharePoint intranet development services include information architecture, document library configuration, metadata design and workflow automation. We build intranets that support your business processes while maintaining compliance and security.

How much does an intranet cost?
The cost of an intranet depends on several factors, including platform choice, number of users, feature requirements, integration complexity and deployment approach. A basic intranet on an out-of-the-box platform may cost from R150,000 to R400,000 for initial setup. A fully custom SharePoint intranet with Teams integration, workflow automation and document management typically ranges from R500,000 to R2,000,000 or more. Ongoing licensing and managed services are additional.
Mint Group provides fixed-price proposals based on your specific requirements. As a top 1% Microsoft partner, qualifying intranet engagements benefit from Microsoft funding that helps offset development costs. We build modern SharePoint intranet solutions that deliver measurable value without unnecessary complexity.
Every organisation is different. Contact us for a detailed quote based on your specific needs and user count.
What software is used to build an intranet?
Organisations use several software platforms to build intranets, ranging from dedicated intranet software to broader collaboration suites. Common platforms include Microsoft SharePoint (on-premises or SharePoint Online), Google Sites, Slack, Confluence, LumApps and Simpplr. SharePoint is the most widely used enterprise intranet platform, particularly among organisations already using Microsoft 365, because it provides document libraries, team sites, communication sites and integration with Microsoft Teams and Viva.
Mint Group builds intranets exclusively on Microsoft SharePoint Online and Microsoft Teams. Our SharePoint intranet development includes custom web parts, approval workflows, automated workflows and seamless integration with your existing Microsoft 365 environment. We help clients move from basic intranet setups to modern digital workplaces.

What is an intranet solution?
An intranet solution is a complete package of software, configuration and services that delivers a functioning internal network for an organisation. Unlike standalone software, a solution includes the platform, information architecture, content structure, access controls, integration with business systems and ongoing governance.
A well-designed intranet solution serves as the digital workplace where employees access company news, documents, training materials, project updates, and collaboration tools from a single central hub.
Mint Group designs custom intranet solutions on SharePoint and Teams. Our approach combines SharePoint intranet portal configuration, workflow automation, document management and access controls with user adoption support and training. We build modern intranet solutions that connect your people, built-in tools and information without creating new silos or manual workarounds.

What is the best intranet software?
There is no single best intranet software for every organisation.
The right platform depends on your existing technology stack, user count, security requirements, integration needs and budget. For organisations already using Microsoft 365, SharePoint Online is generally the strongest choice because it provides native integration with Teams, Viva, Outlook and Office applications.
Other platforms, such as LumApps or Simpplr, may suit organisations with different infrastructure or specific compliance requirements.
Mint Group recommends and implements SharePoint Online as the intranet platform for Microsoft-focused organisations. Our SharePoint intranet development services deliver document libraries, version control, access controls, workflow automation and seamless integration with Microsoft Teams and Microsoft 365. We help clients build modern intranets that their employees actually use.

What are examples of intranet platforms?
Examples of intranet platforms include Microsoft SharePoint Online, Google Sites, Confluence, LumApps, Simpplr, Igloo and Interact. Each platform offers different capabilities for document management, knowledge sharing, communication, workflow automation and third-party integrations.
Microsoft SharePoint Online is the most widely adopted enterprise intranet platform, particularly among medium and large organisations already using Microsoft 365 for email, collaboration and productivity.
Mint Group builds intranets on Microsoft SharePoint Online and integrates them with Microsoft Teams and Viva. Our custom components, approval workflows and document libraries turn SharePoint into a complete digital workplace. We also provide information architecture, metadata design and governance to ensure your intranet platform remains organised and secure as usage grows.
Not sure which platform fits your organisation? Contact us for an unbiased assessment based on your specific digital transformation requirements.
What does intranet stand for?
“Intranet” is a combination of “intra-” (meaning within or inside) and “net” (from network). Unlike the internet, which is a public global network, an intranet is a private internal network accessible only to an organisation’s employees and authorised users.
The term does not stand for an acronym but rather describes the purpose: a network within an organisation for internal communication, document sharing and collaboration.
Mint Group builds intranets on SharePoint and Microsoft Teams that function as secure internal networks for South African businesses. Our intranet development focuses on relevant content, company news, document libraries and approval workflows that help employees collaborate without relying on email or disconnected tools. A modern intranet from Mint Group gives your organisation a structured internal network that supports business processes and knowledge sharing.
