Many companies have derived business value from their intranet applications. Intranet using companies report cost reductions, revenue increases or other benefits after they replaced traditional methods of accomplishing information publishing and other business processes with intranet based methods.
Communications that are produced on paper, and which require frequent updates, generally incur volume-related, high printing costs. Transfer of these communications to an intranet can result in substantial cost savings.
Companies that use web technology to distribute documents may experience momentous gains in productivity and incredible cost savings.
These processing costs include printing, distribution, completing, collecting, and entering data from paper forms, providing support to fill out the forms and managing subsequent changes.
The web browser technology of extranets makes customer and supplier access of intranet resources a lot easier and faster than previous method.
Like the reengineering craze that has marked the other half of the client/server revolution, converting many paper-based systems to web systems can save both labor and over head costs within an organization.
