Web Services: Intranet Design & Programming

Leverage the power of Internet technologies with your own company Intranet site. With an Intranet you can easily distribute information, provide central access to data, and centralize applications usage.

If your company has an Internet site, why not an intranet site?  With an intranet site, the ease of use and capabilities of the WWW are applied to your company.

Companies and organizations, large and small, will benefit from the development of an intranet site, the group's hub for updated news, documents, and information.

Money can be saved in labor and in supplies and services such as telephone and paper.  New employees can be trained using documents and resources stored within the intranet, and meetings can be held in chat rooms and conferencing areas, saving on telephone charges and travel costs.

Employees will become more productive and activity will become livelier as employees have continual access to up-to-date company information found on the Intranet.  Customer service will improve as access to client information is provided in the same format, at the same time to all employees who need it.

Uses of a Company Intranet

Chances are, most employees have a computer or have access to one. As such, below are some types of applications and uses to be placed on your Intranet.

• Corporate Applications: You can save time by not installing and managing programs on every computer. With an intranet, employees access company data using a standard web browser, and any updates are quickly and easily available to everyone since the program and data reside on the server.

• Calendar: Why waste paper posting calendars everywhere, especially when they change frequently? A calendar on your intranet provides a quick and easy way to disperse timely and necessary event information to everyone. The calendars could be used and shared by individuals, groups or different offices. For those with an existing calendar program, it may be possible to continue using it while sharing the data with everyone on the intranet.

• Contact Database: Share addresses, phone numbers, and e-mail information with everyone without having to use special programs installed on each computer. Your company's contacts should be available to all, not just a select few.

• Company Policies and Forms: Distribute your organization's rules, guidelines, and forms simply by posting them on your intranet site. Any changes will now be available to everyone instantly across the network, and with portable document technology, such as Adobe Acrobat PDF, your documents will be available in a read-only format so that they cannot be changed.

• Company News: Keep everyone up to date with the latest company announcements and information with a news area. The articles would be easy to manage and done so without any knowledge of web design.

• System Administration: For companies with large networks, system management applications on the intranet site make computer and network maintenance easier because, like other web-based applications, they are available to system administrators on any computer on the network. Web-based management programs are available for a variety of functions including user, server, printer and UPS management and monitoring.
