Based on the Internet, intranet technology shows great promise for enhancing productivity and performance at all levels of business operations. Businesses can apply the intranet approach to their own internal computer networks and reap the benefits. But careful

	Setting of Priorities and Planning
	Evaluation and Application Design
	Implementation and Operation

are required to achieve effective results.

Technically, intranets represent the next generation of client-server networks. At the business level, intranets enhance the ability to use, process and share information, thereby significantly increasing a business's effectiveness. The approach can also improve data sharing and communication with vendors and customers.

Intranet systems (see Overview of Intranet Issues) can be used with existing computer hardware, databases, software applications and existing infrastructure (servers, mainframes and networks). They provide users with centralized software management, allow software to be used anywhere on the intranet regardless of its platform of origin, and provide a flexibility for selecting individual components from multiple vendors.

Additional benefits include decreased software operations and maintenance costs, cost-effective and timely deployment of information and technology to staff and increased productivity due to the intuitive "Internet-like" graphical user interface.

Abacus works with all of the major vendor products and has been providing systems and software solutions and services for clients for more than 35 years. For further information call Ron Citrenbaum at (818) 999-4700, fax him at (818) 999-1115 or send email to ron@abacuscorp.com.
