Product Description
Systems that allow the widespread exchange of information across company networks are usually difficult to create and not particularly user- friendly. Off-the-shelf groupware products such as Lotus Notes are effective, but they may be expensive and cannot be adapted to suit the needs of a business. For this reason, managers are now looking at the Web as an innovative solution to their groupware needs. In this book, Ryan Bernard explains for a broad and computer literate, but not highly technical audience, the technology and processes by which companies can establish internal webs within their organizations and the compelling, tangible benefits of doing so. The book describes how to: select the right software and hardware for an internal corporate web; identify and structure useful information on corporate web servers; launch a corporate web and promote it throughout the organization; tie together the whole corporate web with a central hub page and index; link the corporate web to the enterprise network and the external Internet; establish appropriate corporate web policies, procedures, budgets, and publishing resources.
Amazon.com Review
The same technologies that have been used to build a world-wide Internet are increasingly being used within companies to create "Intranets". This is one of the first books devoted exclusively to Intranetworking, and will be invaluable as MIS staff and all members of your company make the transition from LANs to WANs. Recommended.
