Integrated external resources. Route planning, mapping or traffic news sites can be 

integrated into the intranet to save time for staff. One example of this is a housing 

authority that stores its list of properties on the intranet. Each house has a link to a 

mapping site (e.g. Multimap www.multimap.com), which will display the location of the 

property based on its postcode.

Intranets need to include a suitable technology to enable staff to create and manage their own 

content.
