Building the Corporate Intranet

Steve Guengerich, Douglas Graham, Mitra Miller, Skipper McDonald

A complete blueprint for planning and building a fast, efficient company Intranet

Building the Corporate Intranet was designed to get you quickly up and running with all of the guidance and skills you need to plan and build a flexible, cost-effective, easy-to-manage corporate Intranet. Not just another HTML or Web site authoring book, Building the Corporate Intranet walks you through a unique 12-step program designed specifically with Intranets in mind. The authors begin with the business and technology considerations for building an Intranet, then clearly outline the physical and logical design of an Intranet network. They describe the full range of Web-based development tools and techniques, as well as the latest generation of Web-based client/server technologies. And they provide easy-to-follow, step-by-step instructions on how to integrate Web technologies with legacy systems to build an Intranet.

Building the Corporate Intranet features:

  • Unique checklists, surveys, workplans, and other helpful tools that streamline and foolproof the implementation process
  • Practical coverage of the full range of commercial Intranet tools, including Netscape, Java, and Shockwave, from vendors such as Sun, Microsoft, and others
  • Guidelines on how to organize and manage your Intranet development team
  • Real-life "best-use" case studies and examples
