Avoid Chaos: Why Version Control Matters in Your Intranet
By SimplifyIT | Published
One Document, Many Versions - What Could Go Wrong?
In many financial institutions, the same policy exists in multiple places: email threads, shared drives, printed binders, and outdated intranet folders. Which one is the official version? If your team doesn't know, they're likely working with the wrong one.
The Risks of Poor Version Control
- Compliance violations due to outdated procedures
- Employees unknowingly using the wrong forms or policies
- Frustration and wasted time tracking down 'the latest' document
- Audit findings that could have been easily avoided
Without version control, your intranet becomes a guessing game. That's a liability.
What Strong Version Control Looks Like
With a smart intranet, version control is automatic - not an afterthought. That includes:
- Clear version history and timestamps
- Access control for who can edit vs. view
- Review workflows for approvals before publishing
- Audit logs showing who changed what (and when)
This ensures everyone - from tellers to compliance officers - works from the same, correct version.
Tailored for Financial Institutions
Generic file systems can't handle this. SimplifyIT's intranet includes built-in version control designed for the way banks and credit unions operate - because clarity isn't optional in regulated environments.
Make Version Control a No-Brainer
Your intranet should make it easy to stay compliant - not rely on memory or manual tracking. See a demo and find out how simple version control can be.
