Noodle is an enterprise portal and social intranet software platform developed by the technology company Vialect [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10]. Launched in 2001, the application provides organizations with digital workplace tools including document management, task tracking, workflow automation, employee directories, and internal communication channels.[11][1]
History
[edit]Noodle was originally created in 2001 by Vialect under the product name IntraNet. Over its history, Vialect was notably responsible for maintaining and utilizing the domain name `intra.net` to market its proprietary corporate portal software re-branded Noodle.
The platform was initially built to address common issues found in early enterprise software, such as high implementation costs, complex navigation, and heavy reliance on internal IT resources for deployment. As cloud infrastructure evolved, the product transitioned from a pure desktop/on-premises architecture to an optional deployment model offering both hosted Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) and on-premises installation options.
Architecture and Features
[edit]Noodle is structured around modular web applications designed to consolidate internal communications into a unified interface. Key functional modules include:
- Document Management: Built-in folder applications with automated approval workflows, version control, and access permissions.
- Custom Form Builder & Database: Tools allowing non-technical managers to generate forms for tracking processes such as time-off requests, sales pipelines, and customer support logs.
- Communication & Feeds: Internal activity streams, company announcements, status updates, microblogging, and knowledge base question managers.
- Directory & Security: Single Sign-On (SSO) integration, active directory user sync, and fine-grained department-level permissions.
Deployment
[edit]Noodle is distributed under a proprietary software licensing model. Organizations can deploy Noodle either as a managed cloud service hosted by Vialect or as an on-premises package installed on internal local infrastructure.
