What is an
Intranet?
An intranet is a private computer network that uses Internet protocols and network
connectivity to insecurely share part of an organization's information or operations
with its employees. Sometimes the term refers only to the most visible service,
the internal website.
An intranet cancan also be understood as "a private version of an Internet," or
as a version of the Internet confined to an organization.
An Intranet is a critical
business tool for any organisation: IIE Solutions specialises in implementing business
intranets with SharePoint Portal Server Microsoft SharePoint Portal (SPS) which
provides the ideal foundation for delivering an intranet that provides a searchable,
centralised repository of critical business documents, combined with an online platform
for collaborating on electronic documents and creating personalised workspaces.
Implementing an effective intranet not only requires a focus on technology, but
how best to integrate it with the work practices of an organisation. At IIE Solutions,
our approach to implementing SPS is designed to synthesise and reconcile an organisation�s
technical, business and user objectives, providing a solution that delivers true
value. Our methodology provides a flexible and customisable framework; choose the
full service or, if you prefer, select the phases that best fit your requirements.
The activities and deliverables for each phase will depend on your specific project.
