### Comment 1

A network internal to an enterprise that uses the same methodology and techniques as the Internet. It is not necessarily connected to the Internet and is commonly secured from it using firewalls. Intranets often use an organization’s local-area networks (LANs) or wide-area networks (WANs). Services include websites, collaboration, workflow and messaging services, and application development.

### Comment 2

In its most basic form, an employee intranet helps employees better connect with coworkers and find the information they need to do their job.  Companies often measure the impact of an intranet on two fronts: first, by improving overall employee engagement and second, by boosting employee productivity.
