What are they?

An intranet is a password-protected site designed to help business efficiency - often these are systems which allow far-flung parts of an organisation to share information, organise their billing and manage their contacts.

By their nature, they are private and therefore we can't give you access to the work we have done, but here is a general example:

Example: A 'staff outsourcing' business

Intranets can be a very poweful tool for an organisation that hires people out to other businesses - for example a demonstrator agency. The business' intranet can be used by its self-employed staff to report back on the day's activities: where they have been, what they did and what the end-client needs to know about the work done. This appears as a summary report at head office, which is then authorised by the Contractor Manager. Authorisation automatically triggers an invoice to the client and payment to the demonstrator, saving on admin staff and resulting in quicker payment of money due.
