Intranet helps in cutting costs, easy and fast accessibility of day to day information.
Intranet is a network within the organization whereas Internet is a world wide network .
Intranet has access to Internet but not vice- versa. Designed as a proprietary system in an area lacking widespread connectivity, Lotus Notes uses a proprietary database structure, which replicates data and does not provide quick access to remote databases. The use of client browsers with one standard Window interface, offers the easy integration with other applications, such as electronic mail, faxes, calendaring, videoconferencing, and hot links within messages. As a single interface to a variety of information sources, the browser is cost-effective, highly efficient, and very easy to use. An Intranet server, eliminates the need to replicate database by providing users with easy access to source data.
