You are probably familiar with the word “intranet” because of its similarity to the word “Internet“, but what do we know about it? But what do we know about it? Are the Internet and intranet the same thing? Are they related? Do they complement each other?

What is an intranet system?
The intranet is a private network that allows us to establish a communication network in a specific environment.
The most frequent use of these private networks is within companies, which use the intranet system as a means of access for a limited group of people.
Through this system you can:
- Access registration and management databases in a timely and efficient manner.
- Search, obtain and share information with other members of the company.
- Quick and easy access to collaborative processes
- Find out about the latest news
- Conducting teleconferences and videoconferences
- Send communication alerts to the rest of the team
They usually have a database in which the registration data of all collaborators is stored, in order to facilitate the control of all members and avoid putting at risk the information that is shared there.
How does it work?
The intranet works from the servers where the network is hosted, which contains the access information and all those that will become communication points, through different devices.
These can be from the company itself or from an external supplier, as explained here.
What are the benefits of this system?
The intranet offers multiple benefits to users. Some of them are shown below:
- Intranet systems encourage user participation and interaction, which contributes to a clear improvement in communication processes, whether through short messages, calls or videoconferences.
- It also gives the user the possibility of sharing classified information without the risk of it falling into the wrong hands. Through the intranet we obtain spaces where we can transmit information in a precise, organized and, above all, secure manner.
- Requesting, managing and following up on requests from other collaborators is easier and faster. In addition, with this system, the possibility of forgetting important messages is reduced to a minimum.
- Improve employee productivity and commitment to their tasks, activities and assignments.
