How to make Intranet

This article explains how to make an intranet. Intranet is a corporate network that uses an IP network structure together with the Web browsers and web servers. They are use for information sharing.

Creating an intranet involves following steps

Planning
Creating an intranet is a complex task. It should be started with a detailed planning. So plan your project in detail. You should have the courage to face the criticism. Discuss and cover each and every aspect of the project.

Physical Layer

It is the easiest part of the whole process. It involves the planning of physical requirements for your intranet. What you do in physical layer is to find the best solution for your company. You would require at least two Server machines, one for the web and other for the email. Make sure that these machines should be fastest and reliable.

You can choose any operating system for these machines like NT, Mac, and UNIX etc. Make sure that all the relevant desks in your organization have computers.

 

 

 

The Software

The choice of Server software will be slightly limited to the choice of operating system. There are 6 or 7 Web Servers actually exits which can do the job appropriately. Methods used for “server side” functions are much more important. These functions are the fragments of the server software, which add power to ordinary HTML web pages. Some of these are Perl, XML, PHP, Cold Fusion, and ASP etc. They handle the form pages, company database etc. Your choice of server depends on the quality of expertise, which you can call on to operate it. The software is relatively easy on the client side. Try to narrow the range of browsers and try to make sure that every body is up to date.

Wet ware

Some one will have to design a house style for the intranet apart from the system administration and back end coding. Rules for designing the intranet are likely the same as that of Internet. Here, you have to decide whether to hire somebody to devise this design or rely on your own staff. One of the benefits of intranet is that it changes very quickly so update your training frequently.

Content

Contents depend on the nature of your work but make sure that you have the following


Public Folder (s)

Make sure that you have included the public folder(s). A department places documents, reports etc by using a public folder for other department. It’s a mean of giving real value to your audience with minimum effort.

Sharp Report

Place your reports on the intranet for analyses. It would make it easier to be agreed upon a core package of the reports, which would be useful for the organization. Develop a complete procedure for creation of these reports and the placement on the intranet.

Setup your intranet in such a way that each reader can be able to create a new report when demanded. This kind of facility will give a real value and enthusiasm to your company from the intranet.

Final Words
Each company may have its own requirements for the intranet content. If your company has information and it wants to share it then intranet can make it share.
