The term "intranet" is used to indicate a private network, usually internal to a company, that used Internet technologies. Through this network, employees share documents, Web pages and, more generally, applications. Implementing an Intranet accelerates information flow, and makes increases in the reactivity of your company possible.

An intranet project is a vast building site where it becomes necessary to solve the problems of collaborative work, transport, portals, collaborative application workflow, and opening up information system applications to the Web. The solutions involve specific developments or revamping.

The creation of an Intranet begin with the questions:

• What information and which tools will I place at the disposal of my employees?
• Which populations will be concerned?
• What are the consequences for my corporate network, and the architecture of my information system?
• What are the products offered by the market?
• How will I ensure the safety of the applications?
• What return on investment can I expect?

The answers to these questions must be translated into functional, organizational and technical requirements, to form the base of an intranet project. Intranet projects, over the last few years, have often proliferated in an erratic fashion, without a directing schema or a true strategy to guide them.
