E BUSINESS TECHNOLOGIES (INTRANET)
1. Introduction
E business or electronic business can be referred to as the significant conduct of
several business procedures over the Internet connection (Laudon & Traver, 2013). Each of
these business procedures involve numerous activities such as buying or selling of products,
services and supplies, servicing clients, processing of payments, management of production
controls, collaboration with the business partners, sharing of information, running automated
employee services and even recruiting of employees (Barnes & Hunt, 2013). The electronic
business could even comprise of a range of functionalities as well as services that eventually
range from the proper development of extranets and intranets to electronic services, with the
subsequent provision of tasks and services on the Internet connection by few providers of
application service. Since this electronic commerce has eventually accelerated, few stringent
security protocols as well as tools like digital certificates and encryption are being adopted
for obtaining protection against hackers, theft and fraud (Veit et al., 2014). The following
research report outlines a brief discussion on Intranet connection and issues that are mainly
faced in this technology. Moreover, solutions will also be proposed for all identified issues
after demonstrating about the current position of Intranet.

2.1 Brief Description of Intranet
Intranet can be stated as the private network that can only be accessible to the
organizational staff and employees (Kravets & Lapshina, 2013). It is being observed often
that a wider range of services and information are vastly available on the respective internal
intranet of the company, which are unavailable to the public, unlike the connection of
Internet. A company wide Intranet could eventually constitute the most vital focal point of
internal collaboration and communication and hence providing a single initiation point for

accessing each and every external and internal resources (Beletskaya et al., 2013). Intranet is
termed as a major application of electronic business technologies and was being established
with other technologies of LANs or local area networks and WANs or wide area networks.
These intranets are utilized for the core purpose of delivering tools for collaboration
with the organizational management for advancement of productivity (Bennett, 2014). Such e
business technologies are even utilized as the corporate culture change platforms and hence
all the key issues within the respective intranet forum application can lead to newer ideas
within management, quality, productivity and any other corporate issues. The larger intranets
allows web site traffic to be similar to the public web site traffic and could even be better
understood by utilization of web metrics software for tracking the entire detailed activities,
thus intranet website efficiency and effectiveness are being improvised to a high level
(Hamadani Janes, Patrick & Dotsika, 2014).
2.2 Identification of Major Issues faced in Intranet
Although intranet is termed as one of the most significant and important technology
of e business, there are some of the major issues that are required to be eradicated on time.
These major issues that are often faced while using Intranet connection are as follows:
i) Low Usage of Intranet: This is the first and the foremost important and significant
issue that is being often faced while utilizing Intranet connection (Morschheuser, Henzi &
Alt, 2015). The business and other organizations often encounter this issue and thus there is
always a high chance that this particular technology of Intranet might bring some of the most
popular and noteworthy data processing issues with it. Without involvement of users, this
type of intranet connection could not eventually thrive since it is majorly dependent on the
end users for populating with the respective communication, content and documents
(Michalski, 2014). It could stem from the companies putting all businesses requiring for
