Case studies of the application of Intranets within organizations.
Implications of Distributed Object Technology for Reengineering; An SEI Technical Report - In a series of studies, International Data Corporation conducted four in-depth economic analyses at major corporations. These studies show a Return on Investment (ROI) averaging well over 1,000 percent. They emphasized three themes: rapid deployment on heterogeneous platforms, widespread acceptance and use due to ease of use of the browser technology, the realization of the promise of openness, and the ability to replace components at will. In all cases, the use of intranets enabled the companies to take advantages of new enterprise strategies. The studies were conducted at Cadence Design Systems, Inc.; Booz, Allen & Hamilton; Silicon Graphics, Inc.; and Amdahl Corporation. (CMU/SEI-97-TR-005 / ESC-TR-97-005)
