[Introduction to Ziik](https://help.ziik.io/getting-started?hsLang=en#introduction-to-ziik) # What is Ziik? ## Ziik is a Social Intranet Software that collects the tools you need to communicate, inform and engage your employees, all in a format that is easy to set up and easy to use, for both admins and staff. ### **👉 It** begins with structure Our more than a decade long experience building Ziik has has shown us that the **top issue** companies face with their internal tools, is a **lack of adoption**. You may have all the features you could wish for, but adoption and engagement are low or even non-existent. One of the main **reasons**? You probably don’t have the right level of flexibility when it comes to sharing. And that usually comes down to **structure** and whether (or not) you’re able to properly ‘mirror’ your organisation in the product. From day one, we at Ziik have focused on one thing above all else: **making it simple to match any organisation, whether you want central control or local autonomy.** This way you are in control of who can share what, and with whom. ![organisational-structure-ziik](https://help.ziik.io/hs-fs/hubfs/hierarchy-hospitality-ziik.png?width=688&height=442&name=hierarchy-hospitality-ziik.png) ### ⚡Instant communication, from wherever With the right structure in place, communication becomes fast, relevant, and engaging.
