Linchpin Essentials




Linchpin Essentials is our lightweight Confluence solution.

Linchpin Essentials builds on the knowledge management system of Confluence and improves it significantly. Not only does it make daily work in Confluence much more enjoyable - for example, thanks to freely configurable navigation menus and a fancy theme that can easily be adapted to your corporate design, as well as the expandable user profile fields (which allow you to create really meaningful profiles) - it also increases user acceptance and improves team collaboration.

Use Linchpin Essentials to give your system an identity, make it easy to navigate around the system, enhance it with meaningful profiles and handy macros like the org charts and structure diagrams, and improve user acceptance, satisfaction and collaboration. The configurable theme as well as many handy macros (like the Teaser macro) will help you to design any Confluence page more freely and with style.

When should I upgrade to the Suite?



Your Confluence should evolve from a pure wiki to an information and collaboration platform that acts as a hub for daily work.

The Linchpin Intranet Suite is the central point of contact which gives you a better view of what is going on and helps you to stay on top of it. Your tools are just a click away and you have direct access to all internal and external programs that are relevant and important to you and for your work. This integration turns the Linchpin Intranet Suite into a cockpit for daily work.

This is made possible by the Linchpin Intranet Suite module Linchpin Launchpad.

You want to offer personalized content and provide employees with an individual user experience.

The Linchpin Intranet Suite does not look identical for all colleagues in your company, but adapts to their individual needs. Based on profile data - for example, language, location, department and interests - users are shown only what is of interest to them: a customized navigation, a personal start page and information that matches the interests, skills and other details in their profile.

This is a core functionality of the Linchpin Intranet Suite.

You want to involve corporate communications and publish news.

The Linchpin Intranet Suite is also used for efficient corporate communication. From top-down to bottom-up communication, all employees always stay up to date. In addition to visually appealing news on the dashboard, there are digital news magazines that can easily replace the bulletin board or printed employee magazines. 

This is made possible by the Linchpin Intranet Suite module Linchpin Enterprise News.

You want to improve communication in projects and enable faster exchange within project groups.

The Linchpin Intranet Suite stands not only for sustainable knowledge management. The Linchpin Intranet Suite also stands for transparent and fast communication and collaboration. Modern community features enable you to exchange ideas, questions and current topics easily and always in context, for example in projects.

This is made possible by the Linchpin Intranet Suite module Microblogging for Confluence.

You want to ensure that your employees' profiles are well maintained and kept up to date.

The Linchpin Intranet Suite includes an onboarding assistant which makes it easier for new users to get started with the system and helps them to fill out their own profiles. The assistant also reminds employees to make adjustments to the profile if a profile field has not been filled in correctly. 

This is made possible by the Linchpin Intranet Suite modules Linchpin Onboarding and Linchpin Pings.

You want to make the system available in multiple languages.

The Linchpin Intranet Suite offers various options for linking content in various different languages and storing translations, for example for profile fields or the onboarding modules.

This is made possible by the Linchpin Intranet Suite modules Linchpin Translations and Linchpin Language Manager.
