Hallo guys,I hope you better than before, Now we will define characteristic of intranet and internet, so let's begin.
An intranet has many of the same characteristics as the Internet. They differ, however, in
some important ways. The following discussion is partly based upon Nielsen (1997b):
Users. The users of intranets, being organization employees, know a lot about the
organization, its structure, its products, its jargon, and its culture. Internet sites
are used by customers and others who know much less about the organization,
and often care less about it. The intranet user’s characteristics and needs can be
much more specifically defined than those of the general Internet user.
Tasks. An intranet is used for an organization’s everyday activities, including complex
transactions, queries, and communications. The Internet is mainly used to
find information, with a supplementary use being simple transactions.
Type of information. An intranet contains detailed information needed for organizational
functioning. Information is often be added or modified. The Internet
usually presents more stable information: marketing and customer or client
information, reports, and so forth.
Amount of information. Typically, an intranet site is much larger than an organization’s
Internet site. Massive amounts of information and processes seem to be needed to make an organization function. It
has been estimated that an intranet
site can be ten to one hundred times larger than its corresponding public site.
Hardware and software. Because intranets exist in a controlled environment, the
kinds of computers, monitors, browsers, and other software can be restricted or
standardized. The need for cross-platform compatibility is minimized or eliminated,
permitting more predictable design. Upgraded communications also permit
intranets to run from a hundred to a thousand times faster than typical
Internet access can. This allows the use of rich graphics and multimedia, screen
elements that contribute to very slow download times for most Internet users.
Design philosophy. Implementation on the intranet of current text-based and GUI
applications will present a user model similar to those that have existed in other
domains. This will cause a swing back to more traditional GUI designs—designs
that will also incorporate the visual appeal of the Web, but eliminate many of its
useless, promotional, and distracting features. The resulting GUI hybrids will be
richer and much more effective.
