Network Tips
Network Benefit Details
Unite a team—local or remote.
An intranet will facilitate uniting a team, whether the team is all over the globe or all in one office. Also intranets are easy to use and users will quickly learn to best utilize the collaboration features.
Share documents, calendars, and messages.
Intranets are all about collaboration. Use an intranet to share all sorts of documents, calendars, and communications. E-mail may be great, but everyone knows how easy it is to get out of sync while e-mailing documents back and forth. With an intranet, the information exists in only one place.
Collaborate from anywhere (web-based).
Web-based services allow team members to be anywhere—at an important global conference, or telecommuting from home. Easily bring team members into a secure and readily accessible web-based environment. Keep everyone informed and in sync.
In addition to the headaches of keeping document edits in sync, keeping everyone informed as to policies, events, and meetings via e-mail is just as difficult. An intranet can keep a group's schedule, events, and documents all in one secure place. And shared schedules means it is easy to schedule the next sales meeting or party.
Easily create and organize new special teams.
Why settle for a single intranet? As task-focused groups sprout up, spin off to another intranet for privacy, to track a single project, and to cut down on distraction. When the task is over, save the intranet information and delete the account.
In most cases, todays computers are already equipped to facilitate network provisioning and access. Networking can integrate the sharing of software programs and resources such as printers and high speed broadband internet connections. In addtion to computer equipment other network equipment such as Ethernet network access switches, Hubs, and routers can help to regulate and screen computer traffic internally at the business office and to and from outside internet connections.
