Intranets in Action Don't wait. Companies are getting payoffs from intranets now.
Intranets are inexpensive, easy to install, and more flexible than any other client-server option.
Recording company Geffen Records uses its intranet to help sell Cowboy Junkies and Nirvana CDs. Boeing's intranet helps its engineers design planes. And Turner Entertainment Group applies intranet technology to eliminate paper glut. While our examples are big corporations, intranet benefits scale to fit a five-person startup as well as an industrial giant. On Geffen Records' intranet, sales charts, video samples, and phone lists exist side by side with external resources such as show listings and music-related newsgroups.
