We believe the biggest growth in the next couple of years will be in the use of Internet technology in our own offices. Using Internet technology to create a private network within your own agency is called an intranet. Using Internet technology within our own agencies will help us provide to our staff people the information they need to do their jobs more easily and more efficiently. Any agency will experience a number of benefits when using an intranet. And, it is surprisingly inexpensive and easy to set one up.
Most agents already have some type of network within their agency.
You may wonder why you would want to create another one. Using Internet technology, however, will make it easier for your staff people to find the information they are looking for. Let me explain. You can use your existing network to store documents your staff people need to reference during the day. You create these documents in programs such as Word and then save them as a Word document file.
