7. What is an Intranet and what are the benefits?
An Intranet is
basically an internal web site, which can be a useful and extremely
adaptable information tool within organisations. It can contain, for
example, company news, policy or procedure documents, project or contact
details and a company diary. It can help your staff organise and search
for important information and deploy that information to fellow members of
staff. Furthermore, password protection can control user access to
different levels of information. An Intranet can also incorporate a copy
of the organisation’s web site, providing an easy and cost-effective
alternative to dial-out connections. If you need to improve the flow of
information within your organisation, an Intranet could be the answer.
8. How can I tell how popular my site is?
Since our sites use Windows NT web servers, we can set up comprehensive site logging. This records each visit made to your site in an extremely detailed way. The logs can be easily processed to produce rich, graphical reports on a range of important site statistics. Our database expertise also means that we are able to design customised reporting functions if required.
