- Familiar, simple and inexpensive user interface in a graphics environment. Internet browsers [Internet Explorer, Netscape, Opera, Konqueror and still others] running on any operating system, usually but not exclusively Windows, are used to access intranet applications.
- Single installation of applications. No need to install applications--and pay licensing rights--on every client/user computer. Any computer with a browser and any user with access rights can activate the applications.
- Easy integration in current computer set-up. Existing user computers are made part of the network with minimal installation procedures.
- Internet scalability. Intranet applications and databases can be conveniently made accessible to the public on the internet without any expensive and time-consuming modifications.
- Availability of Open Source Software. A suite of Open Source Software exists to implement intranet.
