Several case studies feature organizations with tight publishing controls. Royal &
SunAlliance, an international company with more than 50,000 employees, uses an
intranet council of core business representatives to keep its intranet from being clogged
with irrelevant material (Royal & SunAlliance, 2000). Halifax Bank of Scotland (HBOS),
a company with 45,000 employees, re-launched its intranet site, which had grown
unwieldy from years of allowing anybody to publish information. The company identified
a team of eight publishers who took 47 internal sites and combined them to one more
manageable intranet (France, 2007)
