• An Intranet is a secured, easy to use system accessed by using a web browser, to share resources within a specific group, organization or community.
• An Intranet can be a source of information for the organization, staff, suppliers, partners, regional office and even customers of any business- anyone specifically with granted access permission.
  
  Advantages of an Intranet
  

• Relatively inexpensive.
• Easy to use for those already familiar with the Web.
• Expected growth in the next 5 years is four times that of the Internet itself.
• A management tool that works where accurate information can be shared with others and increase effective communication. Intranets allow the centralization of information, making it easier to maintain and keep up-to-date.

Some Examples:

• You are a small business owner with 10 sales people and want a daily review of what each associate accomplished that day including sales figures, customer follow-ups and potential leads. An Intranet can provide you with up to the minute information from your staff whether you are in your office down the hall or across the country.
• As the director of human resources you need to notify employees of a benefit change. With an Intranet this is accomplished quickly, efficiently and the policy change could easily be downloaded and printed by the staff.
• You have hired a new associate who needs information on your company, philosophies and training for his or her position. An Intranet can contain interactive material of both products and services.
• You have a select group of clients/customers that need up-to-date information at their fingertips including: warranty information, product catalogs, manuals, rebates and recalls. By using a username and password this data can be given to specific users.
• Your business has more than one office/location and both employees and management need accurate information such as sales figures, budgets, etc. An Intranet allows secured communication between multiple remote locations.
