Intranets come in many variations and designs but regardless of the features they offer, they all serve the common purpose of bringing a group of people together in a private and secure environment to exchange information. An Intranet uses Internet based technologies for private use, it runs on a private Web server that is password protected, and intended only for the use of a select group of authorized people. Businesses, associations and groups that have privileged information to share with a private group are good examples of Intranet users. Here are some examples of how Intranets are used:
