The construction of enterprise intranet should first have "planning" and "creativity", then study the functional design of software modules, and finally determine the configuration of necessary hardware and network equipment. Sufficient and repeated demand analysis is very necessary. The "demand analysis" of establishing intranet includes the dual consideration of current situation and economic benefits.
(1) New or Upgrade
If the establishment of intranet is the first time that an enterprise has used the network in history, then information management personnel need to formulate a set of specific policies, including the requirements for communication business type, communication information volume demand, intranet reliability, network security, etc., so that they can have a clear target when establishing an enterprise network. Of course, economic considerations are also necessary. After all, an enterprise's economic affordability is limited. To make the limited funds as effective as possible, we need to do the following: first, optimize the characteristics of the enterprise Website Design , long-term planning and step-by-step implementation; Avoid waste caused by improper overall design, and make full use of the existing communication network resources in society. Concentrate financial resources on projects that play a key role in the development of enterprises and can only solve problems through self investment.
"Advanced" shall be considered in the technical scheme adopted by the enterprise network. Although technically, all enterprise networks can be built according to one of the few models, their enterprise network architecture, functional characteristics and operation modes are also very different due to the different specific conditions of each enterprise, and should never be a copy of a "standard model". Only the intranet that fully reflects the characteristics of enterprises can make real contributions to the development of enterprises. Only in the future "network economy" and "environment" can enterprises strive for survival space. If it is to upgrade the existing network, it is necessary to consider protecting the existing investment to the maximum extent, pursue the maximum return on investment, and combine the reform of enterprise management system at the same time.
(2) Whether the original information system is retained
The design of Intranet can not only consider its own needs, but also need to consider the internal and external communication environment, the current status and future development trend of communication network technology and information processing technology. Intranet is usually an effective combination of private network and public network. Except for some local or highly professional applications, most intranets need to use public communication network as their own infrastructure (or lower layer network). According to reasonable network design, necessary special network equipment and application system equipment shall be configured to form a special communication and information processing system (upper layer network) for enterprises.
We should make full use of existing resources and reduce waste according to the original information system of the enterprise. As the network economy greatly improves the automation level of enterprises, it will greatly reduce the demand for management personnel and production personnel. In order to properly deal with the problem of the way out for surplus personnel, enterprises must explore new "labor space" on the issue of making full use of these human resources. Only by doing this, can the construction of intranet be fully supported by the majority of employees. Whether the original hardware conditions of the enterprise can be reused on the network is also a problem to be considered. Because we should not forget the constraint of economic cost, which is a prerequisite. Obviously, if the original information system can be operated under the network environment after a few changes, it will certainly save a lot of money.
After considering whether the original information system is retained, the type of information to be transmitted and the maximum size of communication information after the completion of the Intranet should also be comprehensively examined in this second step. The type of information transmitted (i.e. the type of communication service) will directly affect the overall structure and overall design of the Intranet; The amount of communication information is an important factor that determines the efficiency and economy of intranet, and will affect the establishment policy of enterprise network.
