Duties and Responsibilities
UNDP corporate Intranet is now based on SharePoint Online, a centrally hosted and managed web-based platform for document management and collaboration. The platform allows for internal management processes, secured business process workflow management, internal information dissemination, authoritative content, policies and procedures, and document management/record retention of critical, substantive, internal, official documents and records such as strategies, policy papers, contracts, invoices, financial and travel records, communications, prescriptive content, corporate policies, internal team, and individual work sites, etc.
Sharepoint’s capabilities and features can improve the CO’s efficiency and productivity; however, the benefits depend on how contents are structured, labeled, and categorized. While the corporate Sharepoint already provides us the template, customization to local needs is necessary to achieve maximum benefits from the system. In line with the new office structure, the Digital Services aims to maximize utilization of the corporate Intranet for internal business processes, document and records management, corporate assets, business intelligence/analytics, and internal team collaboration. Our current level of ICT resource (staffing), is not sufficient to support the needed enhancement we envisioned for our Intranet.
Under the guidance and direct supervision of the ICT Analyst, the ICT Intern will be supporting the Digital Services in developing the CO’s Intranet environment. He/she will support in the Digital Services throughout the project development cycle of the Sharepoint Developent project. He/she will be part of the MS Teams to update and monitor the development of the ICT project.
