Intranet Definition
Your company can benefit from an intranet solution. |
What is an Intranet?
A company intranet is a private, secure Website that enables
employees to communicate, collaborate, share documents and other
information, and access productivity tools. An intranet is often hosted
and maintained on company servers and can only be accessed by internal
employees. Recently, intranets have been used to enhance customer
relationships as Web-accessible extranets or customer portals. Companies have the following options to create a company intranet. - Custom Built Intranet
- ASP (Hosted) Intranet

Custom-built Intranet
The first option is to create a customized, in house intranet.
Although this approach allows companies to build a highly specialized
intranet, it involves huge costs and effort, which makes it unsuitable
for growing companies.The following facts need be considered about a
custom built intranet.
- Initial costs to purchase necessary hardware and intranet
software for development range from $10,000 to $80,000. Plus,
maintenance and upgrade costs that are recurring and very unpredictable.
- On average, intranet application development ranges from 6-9 months.
- Expert technical support staff is needed to deploy
application code and data backup, software evaluations and upgrades,
and bug and security checks.
- Compare the costs of a custom-built intranet to an ASP intranet

(Hosted) ASP Intranet
The second approach is the ASP (application service provider) or
software-as-a-service approach which HyperOffice offers. Rather than
having to set up in house servers, hire expert staff, and undertake
months long implementation, users can simply access all the tools they
need to build their company intranet over the web. This is commonly
known as an "asp intranet" or "hosted intranet" or "saas intranet". HyperOffice's intranet software solution is low-cost, hassle-free, scalable, and secure and brings you the following benefits. Find what you get with the HyperOffice Intranet Solution:
