There is an advantage and disadvantage to having an intranet. The best advantage is the communication it provides within any organization or business. An intranet is very important to have because it has the ability to communicate across a company internationally. The intranet communications ability provides chat, email and blogs. The employees will use either of these methods of communications
. to interact with each other. One perfect example of an Intranet is Nestle. Nestle's intranet allows the company to communicate across their many number of food processing plants worldwide. One disadvantage of having an intranet is the cost. There is a very high financial cost incurred by the company when initially implementing the intranet. The company has to pay for the equipment, the software, and facilities that is needed to house an intranet system. Even though there is a high cost to implement, there are lots of advantages after the implementation.
