The best thing about an Intranet is that it provides integration between all available platforms. If we develop, for example, a HR application will run identically on the PC, Mac or UNIX platform without the additional cost for development or maintenance. It can also provide a universal accessible Email, web and database system. Allow you to interact with international suppliers, distributors and contractors for virtually no cost to you.
Time zones are no longer a consideration.
Everything is done in real time. You can send an Email to Japan or login into Database in France simultaneously. Save money on long-distance calls if you use your Email. You also may use virtual conference tools such us Netmeeting practically for free. Create the ultimate virtual office with remote access, giving your staff around the clock access to all databases.
