Product Description

Product Description
Building a corporate intranet requires integrating two very different technologies; web development tools and enterprise–wide legacy systems. Few people possess enough experience in both areas to successfully make these technologies work together. The authors, leading consultants at BSG, explain the tools and techniques necessary for building an Intranet system. This book will show how to plan, design and build a corporate intranet system, including how to arrange and mange the project team and what tools for building a system are available, including HTML, Java, and Shockwave.

From the Back Cover
A complete blueprint for planning and building a fast, efficient company Intranet

Building the Corporate Intranet was designed to get you quickly up and running with all of the guidance and skills you need to plan and build a flexible, cost–effective, easy–to–manage corporate Intranet. Not just another HTML or Web site authoring book, Building the Corporate Intranet walks you through a unique 12–step program designed specifically with Intranets in mind. The authors begin with the business and technology considerations for building an Intranet, then clearly outline the physical and logical design of an Intranet network. They describe the full range of Web–based development tools and techniques, as well as the latest generation of Web–based client/server technologies. And they provide easy–to–follow, step–by–step instructions on how to integrate Web technologies with legacy systems to build an Intranet.

Building the Corporate Intranet features:

  • Unique checklists, surveys, workplans, and other helpful tools that streamline and foolproof the implementation process
  • Practical coverage of the full range of commercial Intranet tools, including Netscape, Java, and Shockwave, from vendors such as Sun, Microsoft, and others
  • Guidelines on how to organize and manage your Intranet development team
  • Real–life "best–use" case studies and examples

1.0 out of 5 stars A complete waste of time and money. Don't buy it !!, 28 Jun 1999
By A Customer
This book is totally "light" and superficial. It's like reading a poor article in a magazine. It hasn't the appropiate level of discussion for each point. I've read it in five days, wondering when I'd find something that really worths. I've finished it, and I'm still waiting !!!.

In each chapter, the authors give you a short description of some basics facts about technologhy, or any other not technical fact; but anyway facts that you should already know if you're an IT professional.

Everywhere in the book, you can find the phrase "for more information, call the specialists". The specialists, of course, are companies like BSG, where they used to work. But you can't find the author. That company has been sold, so the book references to a lot of resources that doesn't exist anymore.

I strongly recommend you not to read it.

If you have to manage the bulding process of a corporate Intranet, I think I can give you some help. There are some serious works about human facts, functional facts, and management facts in an Intranet. "Intranet Organization", by Steven Tellen is a good one. It's online, search for it (I can't put URLs here). I don't know if it is a printed version, but it should. I've also good references for "The Human Side of Intranets", by Jerry W. Koehler.

If you're a developer, instead, I recommend you to start with "Intranets Unleashed". It gaves you a good introduction to each technologhy point.

The conclussion about the book: it is not technical, it is not functional. Really bad. 400 pages about nothing !!!

3.0 out of 5 stars Useful, but out of date....stay clear., 2 Feb 2000
As a newcommer to this topic, I found the book of great help bringing me into focus on the subject. 4 Years in the computer industry is a long time, and although the basis of the book is a good foundation, the here and now is not catered for. If you need a starting point for knowledge this book will give you it, but its not what you need for settin up an intranet today.

3.0 out of 5 stars A Painful Lullaby, 12 Jul 1999
By A Customer
I don't like books that put me to sleep and this one did. I was hoping to read in detail about intranets (hardware, software,and construction) but this book was pretty basic. It would be no help to someone looking to create an Intranet from scratch but more for someone who wants a 400 page dictionary definition of Intranet. It was a bore and a waste of time and I suggest you read all the reviews before buying this book.
