INTRANET

Intranet is a private network accessible only to an organisation's staff. 

Generally a wide range of information and services from the organization's internal IT systems are available that would not be available to the public from the Internet. 

A company-wide intranet can constitute an important focal point of internal communication and collaboration, and provide a single starting point to access internal and external resources. 

In its simplest form an intranet is established with the technologies for local area networks (LANs) and wide area networks (WANs).

The benefits of Intranet are:

• Workforce productivity
• Time
• Communication
• Web publishing 
• Business operations and management
• Cost-effective
• Enhance collaboration
• Cross-platform capability
• Built for one audience
• Promote common corporate culture
• Immediate updates
• Supports a distributed computing architecture
