The Internet and Intranets

Why is the topic of Intranets so hot? Because it is in the very nature of the emerging Internet technologies that Web servers can—and do—sprout up throughout enterprises as the early adopters see the huge advantages of getting their departmental or group information on line in a form that others throughout the company can access easily.

The headache—and the opportunity—for enterprises is to get ahead of the curve: design how you will use your Intranet and turn it to your competitive advantage.
