Published by [Numata](https://blog.numata.co/author/numata) on April 19, 2022 10:10:04 AM SAST An intranet is a private, secure network within an organisation. It’s designed so that your team members can connect online to easily find the information, people, and tools they need to get things done. This type of functionality used to require a custom system that was expensive and time-consuming to develop and roll out. However, cloud technologies have changed all that. Using [Microsoft 365](https://www.numata.co/solutions-services/cloud-services/microsoft-365/), companies can now enjoy an intranet built on the SharePoint framework that integrates with Microsoft Office 365 tools to create a more accessible and affordable digital workplace and intranet solution. This allows you and your team to do everything from creating content to communicating and collaborating, managing shared tasks and events, and storing information in a central repository. The applications and storage that you use are hosted and run on Microsoft servers and made available to you via the internet, so you can access them wherever you are (perfect for hybrid working) and on any device! ## Numata has developed an “intranet-in-a-box” so it is quick, easy, and cost-effective to deploy. Here are some of the key reasons companies are choosing to invest in an intranet-in-a-box: - **Rapid deployment:** Unlike old-school intranets that were custom-built, Numata’s intranet-in-a-box can be up and running in a matter of days with easy access for your whole team. All you need to do is provide the content! - **Improved communication and collaboration:** Connect your people, wherever they are, to help improve productivity with more efficient operational processes and access to information. You can also more easily promote what’s important – employee well-being, company brand, culture, and values. - **New, flexible, functionality:** Company overview, departmental information, an interactive organisation chart, news & events, corporate template and image libraries, links out to other systems, and powerful search – so much packed into one useful package. - **Cost-saving:** There’s no server installation and no need for specialist IT staff to consult on deployment. Plus, if you already have a Microsoft 365 Business or Enterprise subscription, there are no additional licensing costs. The only costs are initial configuration and a small ongoing support and maintenance fee so that we can help you grow the intranet with your business and keep it fresh. - **Security:** Previously, allowing employees to access the intranet from anywhere meant using VPN clients and/or opening up your firewall. This created security risks. Now, Microsoft secures the intranet for you with their state-of-the-art built-in security features. - **Anywhere availability:** Because it’s a cloud offering, the Microsoft 365 intranet can be accessed from anywhere – all you need is an internet connection, ideal for remote and hybrid working setups.
