  Intranet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An intranet is a private computer network that uses Internet protocols, network connectivity, and possibly the public telecommunication system to securely share part of an organization's information or operations with its employees.
Most commonly, intranets are owned by the communications, HR or CIO areas of large organizations, or some combination of the three.
When part of an intranet is made accessible to customers, partners, suppliers, or others outside the company, that part becomes part of an extranet.

 intranet vs. Internet Design (Alertbox)
Intranet users are your own employees who know a lot about the company, its organizational structure, and special terminology and circumstances.
Intranets often run between a hundred and a thousand times faster than most Internet users' Web access which is stuck at low-band or mid-band, so it is feasible to use rich graphics and even multimedia and other advanced content on intranet pages.
Actual use of the extranet shares many properties with intranet use: the users will be using the extranet as a major part of their everyday job, so it will be possible to use specialized language and relatively complex interactions.

 The Difference Between Internet, Intranet, and Extranet /IW October 19, 1998   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
The term "intranet" is somewhat misleading conceptually, because it invites a contrast to the term "Internet." The real contrast is with the World Wide Web--an important distinction, because "Internet" focuses on physical and technical networks, while the Web focuses on the set of content accessible on that physical and technical infrastructure.
An intranet is a set of content shared by a well-defined group within a single organization.
The terms "intranet" and "extranet," as imperfect as they are, provide us with conceptual and pragmatic tools for discussing to whom we want to make specific content available.

 Intranet Usability: The Trillion-Dollar Question (Alertbox)
Most intranets, however, were substantially less successful at dealing with old news, archiving it, and integrating it with the main intranet areas.
Intranets typically support mission-critical applications and other specialized tasks that differ between companies and cannot be included in a cross-company comparison.
Thus, the return on investment for intranet usability ranges from a factor of 20 (for a company that starts out low and moves to average) to a factor of 10 (for a company that starts out average and moves to high).
