Intranet Development for Ethiopian Organisations

360Ground designs, develops and customises secure intranets and extranets for Ethiopian ministries, agencies, NGOs and businesses. Staff get one portal for news, a staff directory, policies, HR self-service requests, internal chat and document sharing. Partners, donors, agents and suppliers get their own extranet portal with controlled access. You can host the platform on your own servers or in a local data centre, and connect it to your ERP, HR, records management and Microsoft 365 tools. We delivered the intranet of the Agricultural Transformation Agency (ATA), a critical tool for communication and collaboration among its staff, and we build our own real-time messaging platforms.

1. What is an intranet system?

An intranet is a private website and set of tools that only your staff can access. It gives everyone one place for news and announcements, the staff directory, policies and forms, HR requests, internal chat and shared documents. For organisations with offices across Ethiopia, an intranet keeps head office and regional teams working from the same information, securely and under the organisation’s control rather than in personal messaging apps.
An intranet is for your own staff: internal news, HR self-service, chat and documents, closed to outsiders. An extranet is a secure portal for selected people outside the organisation, such as donors, partners, agents, merchants or suppliers. They log in to see only what you share with them, for example reports, orders, applications or shared documents. 360Ground builds both, and they can run on the same platform with separate access rights.
Start with the problems to solve: how news reaches staff, how HR requests are handled and where documents live. 360Ground runs a short discovery with HR, communications and ICT, agrees the modules, users, languages and hosting, then designs, develops and customises the portal. We migrate content, connect it to your existing systems, train administrators and staff, and support the rollout office by office.
If your organisation already uses Microsoft 365 and is comfortable with cloud hosting, integrating the intranet with it can make sense. If you need hosting on your own servers, features shaped to your processes, or reliable access where internet connections are limited, a custom or on-premise intranet is often the better fit. 360Ground can integrate with the Microsoft 365 tools you use or build a platform you fully control, and will recommend one after discovery.
Yes. The intranet includes internal chat and document sharing with access rights, so work conversations and files stay inside systems your organisation controls instead of personal Telegram groups. Messages and files are tied to staff accounts and removed from reach when someone leaves. 360Ground engineers real-time messaging in-house: we built Meda Chat on the MTProto v2 protocol, which is designed for fast, secure messaging.
Yes. The intranet can be hosted on your own servers or in a local data centre, which suits government agencies and organisations with data-sovereignty or security requirements. 360Ground supplies and installs the infrastructure on the same contract, including servers, virtualisation, storage, networking and enterprise Wi-Fi, sourced through authorised channels with genuine manufacturer warranty. Our Addis Ababa team is accredited by INSA for government technology delivery.
We build multilingual platforms. The National Business Portal we delivered for the Ministry of Innovation and Technology runs in Amharic, Afan Oromo, Somali, Tigrigna and English. The languages of your intranet, including an Amharic interface for staff, are agreed during discovery, along with which content, such as news, policies and forms, needs to be published in more than one language.
The cost depends on the number of users and offices, the modules you need (news, HR self-service, chat, document sharing, extranet portals), languages, integrations with ERP, HR, records management or Microsoft 365, hosting, and training. A small business intranet costs far less than a national agency platform with regional offices. Share your requirements and 360Ground will send an itemised quote in birr for development, hosting, hardware and support.
