With the Intranet, users could navigate to locate legislation, case law and other documents. The Intranet also enabled online feedback to authors of documents. At the technical level, the Intranet had reduced disk storage requirements as well as network load and had made authors'jobs easier because documents could be updated locally. Start cheap, start small, start soon. It is extremely reasonable to deploy compared to products like Lotus Notes.
Deployment can occur rapidly - often in as little as six to eight weeks.
And Neil Lynch is right.
