an organization’s private computer network
A private computer network inside a company or other organization that only its members can use.
Schéma d’usage :
connect to [the] intranet at [a place]
Erreur fréquente :
Learners often confuse “intranet” with “internet.” The intranet is private and belongs to one organization, while the internet is public and global. Another mistake is saying “a intranet” instead of “an intranet”; use the article “an” because the word starts with a vowel sound.
Synonymes
internal network (A broader, more general term; does not always imply use of web or internet technologies.)
Antonymes
the internet (The public global network that anyone can access, not limited to one organization.)

an internal employee website
The special website inside a company where workers can read news, get forms, and use work tools.
Schéma d’usage :
on [the] intranet [do something]
Erreur fréquente :
Learners sometimes say “in the intranet” when talking about pages or information; in modern usage, native speakers usually say “on the intranet” (for example, “I saw it on the intranet”). Learners also mix this sense with the general network sense and may translate both simply as “internet” in their language, which loses the idea of “internal only.”
Synonymes
employee portal (Common in business English; strongly emphasizes the website where employees log in rather than the whole network.)
Antonymes
public website (A website that anyone on the internet can view, not restricted to internal users.)
Collocations
company intranet site
|intranet homepage
|HR intranet portal
|post on the intranet
|find [information] on the intranet
