which is so important for the future of World Family, and of each Radio Maria, especially for our day-to-day work. We have dedicated this entire issue to this important event, since the operation of the new intranet involves each and every one of us, allowing fast and full exchange of information, consolidating a synergy created over the years which always sees Radio Maria atten-
tive to new technologies. The tool is designed first and foremost for those who commit themselves on a daily basis to bringing forward the mission which the Virgin Mary has en-

Welcome dear intranet!
JANUARY-FEBRUARY 2014
The new project by World Family gets underway to improve everyone’s work
fter more than a year of work and design, we are happy to announce that the new intranet of Radio Maria is ready and available for use from this month. But what is it exactly? Which functions and what improvements will it bring ?
What is the use of the new intranet of Radio Maria? It will be the main tool which replaces the current WfGest to facilitate the sharing and exchange of information, files and documents between radios worldwide, but also inside your offices (adm i n i s t r a t i o n , promotion, programming, editorial, information, audio and radio frequency).
Will it be necessary to install software on my computer? No, the new intranet of Radio Maria is an online application to facilitate and support collaboration among the association’s staff worldwide, considering the specific territorial, functional and divisio-
nal organisations. The project was designed according to a number of basic criteria: simplicity, accessibility, user friendliness, saf e t y , multilingual, comp a t i b i l i t y, extensibility (present and future). Why use the intranet? Everyone every day needs to make available and receive many files (documents, texts,
audio, video, images) to and from their own collaborators and other Radio Maria stations and the reference people of World Family. Furthermore, it is often necessary to organise meetings, schedule calendar events, and internally discuss projects and activities. All this will be possible to manage on the new platform.
What can I find on the intranet? Personal areas, details of collaborators, information files of each single Radio Maria, information and files which each station enters and can download from all over the world, discussion forums, work groups... and much more! Simply register (www.intranet.radiomaria.org) and, once authorised by your manager, access with your username and
password to be connected with other members of Radio Maria.
When will we start to use the new intranet? It is possible to use this platform from today. The WFRM staff is always on hand for problems concerning the use of the tool (intranet.wf@radiomaria.org ). Managers, collaborators and even several volunteers can share
and organise their daily activities in the best possible way. We assume you can’t wait to register! We warmly invite you to do so as soon as possible to be able to discover all the functions of this new work tool. WF Staff
