Description: Intranets are rapidly becoming a corporate internal information- sharing medium. Intranet technology is the      same robust, proven, industry standard technology that is used on the Internet. The technical aspects of      implementing the technology are simple. The organization and management aspects are significant and are      key to its successful implementation. This internal use of Internet technology is easy, inexpensive, and has      produced savings and benefits for corporate organizations. This thesis reviews corporate and government      intranets and examines the feasibility of implementing this technology and benefiting from it, in a military      organization. Specific applicability of Intranet technology was examined at Fleet Numerical      Oceanographic and Meteorology Center, while maintaining the vision of its applicability to other military      organizations. Fleet Numerical Oceanographic and Meteorology Center has the requisite technical and      organizational infrastructure necessary to successfully implement Intranet technology. The management and      technical skill sets necessary to successfully implement this technology at any military command operating      a computer network should be available, or easily trained. Fleet Numerical Oceanographic and      Meteorology Center and the U.S. Military should establish the organizational plans and infrastructure to      implement and exploit this empowering information sharing medium.
