Having created a number of external web sites for a national business gift supplier, we were asked to create a intranet system for them. The system was produced in ASP, linking to the company's Access and SQL Server databases. The suite included a supplier administration area, where all the company's suppliers are listed along with full contact details, and an internal coding system showing the types of products they supply and a listing of their products with thumbnails and links to full details.

Another section allows any authorised staff member to add a news article to a bulletin board. This news article is distributed to all other staff and shown in a colour coded format on an electronic notice board for one month.

Yet another section shows the company's past jobs with photographs and detailed ordering information - this makes re-ordering supplies very easy.

The customers area of the intranet site allows company staff to add and edit customer contact details and draft and send promotional emails; a log is made of which emails are sent to which customers.

And a product area allows products information to be added and edited - this changes the main database which serves a number of the company's external internet sites.

At the heart of it all is a functional links page which is set as the homepage for each employee's web browser. This page links to all the intranet areas, the company's external sites, administration areas and useful external links such as mapping, news and telephone directory sites.

Our intranet system has revolutionalised their internal working procedures.

Being an internal system, we are unable to offer a live link to this project.
