1-A Web site or group of Web sites belonging to an organization, accessible only by the organization's members, employees, or others with authorization. An intranet's Web sites look and act just like any other Web sites, but the firewall surrounding an intranet fends off unauthorized access. 2-Like the Internet itself, intranets are used to share information. Secure intranets are now the fastest-growing segment of the Internet because they are much less expensive to build and manage than private networks based on proprietary protocols. 3-An Intranet is the use of Internet technologies within an organization (or company) to achieve better results than the conventional means of data access and transfer. Intranet helps in cutting costs, easy and fast accessibility of day to day information. |

How is an intranet different from the internet? An Intranet is different from an Internet in the following ways: 1. An intranet is a network within the organization whereas the Internet is a world wide network. 2. An intranet has access to the Internet but the Internet does NOT have access to an intranet. |
| How Secure is the Intranet?
It is not secure in its present form! Where a true Intranet resides behind a firewall and has security controls in place to restrict access to designated employees, the Intranet has no security built into it. The Intranet is designed for employee use only. The web addresses of the Department Intranet should not be released to the public. However, with the lack of security controls, all content placed on the Intranet should be considered as being able to be viewed by the public, because it may be! Security may be added to the Intranet at a later date as it grows in use, the need develops and funding and support becomes available. |
| How can i find a
staff e-mail or telephone number?
On the Intranet homepage go to the Communications Department and go to Staff Records. |
| How can i find
my way around on an intranet site Go to the Sitemap which can be located on the top or bottom of any intranet page and it will show you a map of all the main pages. Just click on the page you want to go to and it will take you there. |
| How is the
Prêt a Manger intranet structured?
The Intranet is currently composed of 1 Intranet. The Intranet is linked to the central departments and services for essential information. The intranet homepage is maintained by the Prêt a Manger webmaster. All departments have been designated editors who maintain their departmental website and the links within it. Currently, the Intranet is maintained by Kirsty Gallagher. She will also therefore take care of maintaining links to the departmental pages. Each departmental link should be maintained by an employee in that department. All information is structured in a clear and easy manner so that data can be accessed without any difficulty. |
| What type of material do staff place on the Intranet?
The majority of information contained is mostly read only material in an effort to keep essential administrative and management information more up to date and accessible to employees. There may also be forms for a variety of purposes that can be downloaded for ease of use by staff. The jobs and careers service provides a way for existing staff to benefit from any opportunities that may arise, adding value to the workforce. Most information such as health and safety are read only information at the moment. |
