industry, not to mention the exploding growth of smart technology in

THE INTRANET
An intranet is a connection of computers with the intention of
sharing data within an organization only.
Organizations through the use of the intranet facility have
enjoyed the exclusiveness of sharing private data over the publicly
used internet.
Obviously, the world is becoming more connected than ever.
Now you can conduct webinars and save the cost or organizing

seminars, workshops, training, etc. This has proven to be a cost
effective way of building up an intelligent workforce.
CLOUD-BASED INTRANET:
A cloud based intranet facility is a network of computers within
an organization that supports the transfer of data over the internet
without the use of physical storage devices such as hard disks, flash
drive etc.
A cloud based intranet facility allows users of such to be able to
share data on the go. They do not need to worry about the
inconvenience of carrying a physical storage device around or always
having to stay on their computer. They can work now from the
comfort of their home via a Smartphone. A cloud based intranet
facility will help you save cost of buying and maintaining physical
storage equipment.
There are limitless benefits of using a cloud-based intranet
facility which I will discuss in subsequent pages.
INTRANET HOSTING:
Just like the internet which requires you to host your website,
you also need a hosting platform that will host your intranet. My
favorite and recommended is Bitrix24 used by 1,000,000+ businesses
worldwide.

MEASUREMENT OF THE AFTER-EFFECTS
A simple questionnaire will be issued out to employees before

will be used to measure the impact and adaptation rate of your
employees.
INSTALLATION PHASES:
 PHASE ONE:
This phase will involve the Human Resource team as the first
group to use the intranet service. This should last for 2 weeks.
 PHASE TWO:
This phase will involve adding of other employees of the
company to the intranet department by department, office by office
etc. This may take longer than 1 month depending on the number of
employees. Throughout the process of adding the employees, they
