This paper examines the
intranet, an internal
information system based on Internet technology that is typically unavailable
outside of the local network. It looks at how the
intranet can link together all of the
information in a company, district, or other organization, allowing intranet users to look at predetermined information or use interactive forms to gather and decipher information to help them make decisions. It shows how, in today's technical arena with sophisticated web searching tools, people no longer need to sift through long pages of information to get the information they need. They simply key in a few keywords, and the information is served to them.
