Private Intranets are being embraced by corporations as the wave of the future because they bring immediate gains in helping people find information, work together, and distribute their results effectively. Those gains translate to higher productivity, lower costs, and increased competitiveness in the marketplace. Intranets are private webs that use the protocols and standards of the public Internet. They are the most important new corporate computing platform since personal computers were introduced into the business environment.
Intranets are about corporate workforce connectivity.
They connect people to people and people to information. An Intranet offers the possibility of increased productivity, lower costs, and faster delivery of products to the marketplace. An Intranet puts accurate, current information in the hands of your people, enabling them to provide customers with a sharper and more effective service. Fast access to databases, applications and other electronic resources across the network makes it easy to search, retrieve, share and manage data. Documents can be rapidly updated at minimum expense on an enterprise-wide basis.
