An intranet is a private computer network based on the communication standards of the Internet. It is a smaller version of the Internet that only the members of an organization can see. Companies can create, within their walls, a manageable, secure version of the World Wide Web. Using Intranets (and extranets) will change the culture of an organisation. By making a lot of information easily available, you empower staff to make informed decisions. Intranets allow an organization to spend less time on things that bring no value such as chasing down the right information to solve a problem. Productivity increases as corporate knowledge is more accessible and the data is more accurate.
* Flexibility in time of delivery of knowledge is gained as information is always a click away
* Intranets allow for a place where boundaries are lowered and information exchange is encouraged. This leads to more informed employees with the ability to make better, faster decisions. This in turn leads to better productivity and more time for revenue generation.
