What is an Intranet ?

Intranet is similar to a website and it uses same technology and protocols as an internet website. Intranets generally operate in the closed and secure computer network within the campus of an organization. It has restricted or no access from computers outside the organization's network. Sometimes they are also called as Extranets if an Intranet is also available over a secure channel like VPN for users outside physical network of the organization.

Why a small business should have an Intranet ?

Communication sufferers when dealing with more than one person. Even a very small company has communication issues. Small companies have restricted human resources to check and to follow-up on things. Even using Emails has a drawback as all information is locked up in the mailboxes of the staff and is highly unorganized. Intranet can help you in several ways like organizing frequently needed data and files in the document management, planning schedules, posting updates on the Intranet, tracking sales, employee information, CRM, customer help desk, project management, time tracking and so on. So using Intranet definitely saves time, money, resources and reduces risk.

What an Intranet for Small Business can include?

* Organization updates / news
* Webmail
* Secure Document management
* CRM
* Help desk
* Global address book
* Staff info
* Project management
* Issue tracking
* Sales order management
* Accounting

* Reminders
* Events calendar
* Automated mass emails
* Stock and Inventory

How to get an Intranet ? Is it very expensive ?

NO ! You need not spend hundred thousand dollars to get an Intranet for your organization. There are lot of off-the-shelf products which provide Intranet solutions. They are often loaded with huge amount of functionality and are hosted on a server outside your office. On the other side it is possible to develop your own Intranet using open source tools like TYPO3 which is completely FREE. You can design your own Intranet and spend only on what you need.

Following are some drawbacks of using proprietary Intranet solutions.
1. Often comes with loads of functionality which is not needed and you have to pay for it.
2. Hosted on supplier's server which may be insecure, slow as well as expensive.
3. You need to pay heavy price for any customization needed and wait for new releases.
4. You may not get any support if development company closes down or stops supporting.
5. You do not have source code of the software to make any modifications yourself.
6. There are restrictions over how much space you can use and how many employees can use the system.

On the other side a Custom Intranet for Small Business using TYPO3 has following advantages
1. TYPO3 is Open Source and free to use and modify. You can choose or ask what exactly is needed on your Intranet and only pay for changes and customization.
2. You can install your own Intranet server using Open Source system based on Linux, Apache, mySQL and PHP. This way you can control your data within your network. There will be not restriction on how much data your Intranet can have and how many users can use it.
3. TYPO3 is Open Source and supported by community of developers around the world. Lelesys is one of the major company dealing in TYPO3 development. So you need not be dependent on any single organization for any future upgrade or changes.
4. TYPO3 comes with complete source code and you are free to modify or customize it. This enables you to make any changes even if company who originally developed the Intranet is not able to support it.
5. Proprietary solutions come with user license which restricts you to number of users. With TYPO3 based solutions there is no restriction on how many users / employees you can have on the Intranet or how much disk space you can use
6. TYPO3 based package is relatively much cheaper than a proprietary solution as it is based on all Open Source technologies.
