intranet

intranet
E-com
a corporate network of computers utilizing Internet tools and technology for the purpose of communication and information sharing. Intranets have been introduced by many organizations as an aid to internal communication. Where an intranet is extended beyond the employees of an organization, perhaps to suppliers, customer, or distributors, it is called an extranet.
     At their best, intranets can combine internal and external information resources in a one-stop information shop, and become the intellectual capital library of an organization, capturing staff knowledge, facilitating teamwork and collaboration, and providing an excellent induction vehicle for new employees. However, if not managed properly, intranets can easily evolve in a haphazard way with no clear objectives, and simply become information dumps. Consequently, staff do not use them and their potential is lost.
