- 2. Introduction An intranet is a corporate LAN and/or Wide Area Network (WAN) that is secured behind company’s firewalls and it uses Internet technologies. Although intranets are developed using the same TCP/IP protocol as the Internet, they operate as private networks with limited access. Only employees who are issued passwords and access codes are able to use them. So, intranets are limited to information pertinent to the company and contain exclusive and often proprietary and sensitive information. Firewalls protect intranets from unauthorized outside access
- 3. The Intranet
- 4. How do they do this? By identifying and communicating missions, goals, processes, relationships, interactions, infrastructure, projects, schedules, budgets and culture on-line, in a single interface everyone uses and can add value back to. In a word, an Intranet represents your organization’s “intelligence”. The purpose of this intelligence is to organize each individual’s desktop with minimal cost, time and effort to be more productive, more cost efficient, more timely, and more competitive.
- 5. conti.. With an Intranet, you have access to all the information, applications, data, knowledge, processes, etc. available in the same window, or the same browser. No more conversion to different formats, waiting for programmers to code all the “new systems” together, or teams of consultants to sift through your processes. No more missed opportunities, giving up and not doing business with someone, because their technology was different. Instead, an Intranet connects people together, with Internet technology, using web servers, web browsers, and your data warehouses in a single view that everyone can easily learn while still using their old software.
- 7. Organizational Focus. The Intranet is your opportunity to define your organization and display it for everyone to see. If everyone knows what the company stands for, what the company’s strategic vision is, what the guiding company principles are, who the clients and partners are, then they can focus more clearly on what their own contributions are to the organization. A clear, single web page representing the values of the company is tantamount to success. Every organization can constantly refer to the central messages and develop their own supporting sites accordingly.
- 8. Uses of Intranets. Intranets can be used for so many different functions within your organization. Applications that you’ve been using for years are finding their way to the Intranet. Every developer from 1996/97 is creating new Web applications, or retrofitting existing applications to run seamlessly in Intranet environment. Uses include executive decision support systems, sales cycle automation tools, financial systems, online analytical processing (OLAP) applications, personal productivity applications, financial trading floor systems, procurement and business-to-business commerce applications, document management systems, and customer support and help desk applications. The list just goes on and on.
