An intranet is a private computer network  accessible only by employees to securely share any part of an organization's information or
operational systems within that organization.  The term is used in contrast to internet, a network between organizations, and instead refers
to a network within an organization.

Intranets run on the standard Internet protocols and technologies (TCP/IP, HTTP, and HTML) that are used for the World Wide Web.
This allows companies to use the same types of servers and browsers that they are currently using to access the WWW for internal
applications and distributed information over their existing LAN. Because intranets are essentially just internal, non-public web sites,
most employees are already familiar with the web's interface and there is little or no learning curve.

Intranets are used to share information.  They can be used to distribute company news, update personnel records, and connect workers
who operate from remote locations.

    Other cost-effective applications of an intranet:

  • Employee And Group Information
  • Online Training Materials
  • Sales Presentations
  • Product Specifications
  • Employee Development
  • Corporate Policies And Procedures
  • Company Mission And Goals
  • Corporate Phone Directory
  • Conference Room Reservations
  • Project Information
  • Internal Corporate Announcements
  • Job Postings
  • Events Scheduling
  • Conferencing
  • Annual Reports
