By storing information on an Internal Web Server and providing each computer on the network with browser software such as Internet Explorer, and a network data access application, anyone on the network can view information located on the Intranet Server. This allows for easy and inexpensive distribution of internal corporate information, an essential ingredient in today's fast-moving competitive environment.
