whitepaper South African Waterfront Company Makes Splash With New Intranet Portal0000-00-00 Microsoft
  The Victoria & Alfred Waterfront in Cape Town's working harbour attracts 20 million visitors each year. It offers exciting retail venues, entertainment facilities, office locations, world-class hotels, and luxury apartments. Historically, the company administered these venues with disparate paper processes and IT systems. To increase team working and reduce duplication of effort, it deployed a new server, workstation, and networking infrastructure based on the latest Microsoft technologies. This deployment has allowed the company to enhance employee efficiency and collaboration, streamline IT management, reduce downtime, and make it easier to access the IT help desk. The new infrastructure also supports fast access to key corporate information and eliminates expensive paper and printing requirements.

whitepaper Intranets in Large Construction Organisations: Exploring Advancements, Capabilities and Barriers2007-07-01 University of Salford
  The role of Intranets has changed significantly from a passive role of providing company information to its employees to a more dynamic role to share and capture knowledge. The paper investigates how Intranets can benefit the performance of large construction companies. The current state of developments in Intranet technologies are explained initially through a case study of a large multinational construction alliance and then, to broaden the understanding, a questionnaire survey of eight large construction firms in the UK is conducted. Intranets were found to have developed significantly in large construction firms.

whitepaper Protecting the Intranet Against "JavaScript Malware" and Related Attacks2007-05-17 Springer Science+Business Media
  The networking functionality of JavaScript is restricted by the Same Origin Policy (SOP). However, as the SOP applies on a document level, JavaScript still possesses certain functionality for cross domain communication. These capabilities can be employed by malicious JavaScript to gain access to intranet resources from the outside. This paper exemplifies capabilities of such scripts. To protect intranet hosts against JavaScript based threats, the paper then proposes three countermeasures: Element Level SOP, rerouting of cross-site requests, and restricting the local network. These approaches are discussed concerning their respective protection potential and disadvantages. Based on this analysis, the most promising approach, restricting the local network, is evaluated practically.

whitepaper A Dynamic Example of Delivering Patient Management Identification Opportunities Using SAS/IntrNet2007-05-14 SAS Institute
  The SAS/IntrNet application provides instant access to almost 5 million health claim and clinical information records. It is designed to focus and prioritize patients for interaction through Aetna's behavioral health case management and disease management programs. Through the company intranet, nurse case managers have the ability to search for patients by program, service area, employer (plan sponsor), or Aetna office. A submitted search produces a prioritized list of patients meeting criteria provided to the search form. Each patient is listed with relevant data to help the nurse select a patient in need of interaction. A drill-down into claims, disease identification information, demographics, risk levels, and clinical markers allows the nurse to decide whether this patient should be contacted.

whitepaper Navigating the Intranet With High Precision2007-05-12 IBM
  Despite the success of web search engines, search over large enterprise intranets still suffers from poor result quality. This paper addresses the problem of providing high quality answers to navigational queries in the intranet (e.g., queries intended to find product or personal home pages, service pages, etc.). The approach is based on offline identification of navigational pages, intelligent generation of term-variants to associate with each page, and the construction of separate indices exclusively devoted to answering navigational queries. Using a testbed of 5.5M pages from the IBM intranet, they present evaluation results that demonstrate that for navigational queries, the approach of using custom indices produces results of significantly higher precision than those produced by a general purpose search algorithm.

whitepaper Las Vegas Hotel Improves Decision Making and Guest Satisfaction With In-House Portal2007-04-01 Microsoft
  The Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas is an immensely popular location in one of the biggest tourist destinations in the world. The hotel wanted to give employees the right information at the right time to enhance guest service and make better decisions, but printed newsletters and overfull e-mail inboxes were problematic. So the hotel created an intranet portal using out-of-the-box components from Microsoft software that the hotel owned - and without the help of outside consultants. The portal grew, a page at a time, to encompass information from all hotel departments. The results: Staffing and financial decisions can be made more quickly, in time to affect both labor costs and guest satisfaction.

whitepaper IBM Intranet Fine Tuned for Increased Capacity0000-00-00 IBM
  The IBM intranet - the IBM On Demand Workplace - serves the information needs of its employees both on IBM premises and working remotely. The On Demand Workplace integrates information sources enterprise wide, enabling employees to respond with speed to any customer demand, market opportunity or external threat. Although successful in terms of aggregating a wide range of business-critical information services IBM realized that the existing structure of the portal was not going to continue to meet the growing information needs of its employees. By implementing a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA), however, the problem could be solved. IBM WebSphere XD enables applications to get more value out of legacy resources without requiring additional computing power.

whitepaper Employee Portal for All 12,000 Staff of Major International Airline2007-03-01 BEA Systems
  South Africa's leading airline needed to replace its existing static Intranet system with a dynamic, adaptive Intranet system which could be used by all the 12,000 staff. The aim was also to replace many outmoded, paper-based processes with the shared, online environment. The airline company used BEA WebLogic Portal 8.1 to create mySAA - a staff Intranet system for sharing every type of information in the organization. SAA is using the Service-Oriented environment to simplify the production and management and connect the airline's staff to business services. Content is continually being added, and currently includes corporate communications, crew rosters, concessionary travel, marketing, and IT.
