Intranet
An intranet is basically an internal Internet designed
to be used within the confines of a company, university,
or organization. What distinguishes an intranet from the
freely accessible Internet is that an intranet is private.
Until recently most corporations relied on proprietary hardware
and software systems to network its computers, a costly
and time-consuming process made more difficult when offices
are scattered around the world. Even under the best of conditions,
sharing information among different hardware platforms,
file formats and software is not an easy task. By using
off-the-shelf Internet technology, intranets solve this
problem, making internal communication and collaboration
much simpler
