ABSTRACT
All these advantages can prove beguiling; many companies are finding that the intranet is too good to be true. As they embrace this technology, many companies are finding that they have more of a perpetual problem machine than one of perpetual motion. This is especially the case when they fail to prepare themselves in advance for the new technology. What is happening, of course, is that many companies are finding that they must deal with issues pertaining to organizational structuring, internal and external access to data, copyright protection, data ownership and maintenance, configuration of hardware and software, traffic management, and many others.
