We can define the intranet as the totally private network system that gives you the option of sharing data between several servers connected to this same network.
So that you can have an idea, Intranet allows you to share messages among all the users connected to it, only by registering your data and generating information, you will be able to enter in order to be interconnected and in tune, otherwise you will not be able to enjoy the service or see the information it contains.
What is intranet for?
Its main objective is that you can receive, send and access information on a set of computers that are connected to this private network and thus keep private all the transfer of information that can go from one place to another.
The intranet also allows you to empty information in the cloud, that is, a folder, where you can host all the information regarding a subject where any other computer linked to the network can also review or modify according to the characteristics of the user.
How does the intranet work in companies?
As we mentioned before, being a private network, it can be easily installed in an organization in order to order, control and distribute information to employees to maintain an order of information that only they can manage, modify and thus optimize office work.
Leaders opt for this private network to have immediate communication around the company, since you can send information safely and privately to everyone, and better yet choose a classification for each scale of positions in the company.
What do we mean by this? that you can divide the information to send different links to each person who works in your company, from employees with minor positions to the highest of them.
Each employee must be registered in this network and generate a username and password to be able to access it. To register, you must provide your data and place your corresponding position held in the company, in this way you will know your specific access on the intranet.
Your profile will be in accordance with your work, that is, your position and the actions you carry out in your day-to-day life in the corporation. Why does each of them have access in a different way? Because, as we have already mentioned, each one performs different jobs according to their role.
For example, the manager may have a series of tools that allow him to do certain actions, different from a coordinator who has a position with fewer responsibilities.
It is important to mention that if you want to opt for this type of private network for companies, you must be careful who you provide a user to, since valuable company data that should not be in the public domain can be deposited in this cloud, such as statistics and percentages of how much the company generates, or strategies that are intended to be implemented in the future.
The evolution of the intranet
Although mainly in companies this network has been installed to access from several computers that are connected in the same place, the intranet has evolved its functions and developed other tools, in this way it is possible that anywhere you can access the network if you are employee of the company and you already have a password and user generated.
You can review the information that has been uploaded to the cloud and according to your options you can do other things like share information, send tasks and more. So this is great for you if you have a growing organization and you want to optimize your employees’ communication and task development.
Curious fact
The intranet was originally created for universities, in order to have tools that facilitate communication between students and their teachers, thus having immediate feedback. Guides, tasks and virtual texts were provided to them which they could access on the computers that were in the libraries of each institute.
This of course totally private, and in fact it was classified by careers and subjects that each student took. Based on this idea, the famous internet was created as a general network where any user can easily access any web portal and obtain information that other users (creators) have deposited in it.
