Hi all
I have been told to establish a new intranet for the company that I work in and since we already have Drupal running our website/online store I think it would make sense to have it run the intranet as well.
I have been researching the WWW and the Drupal community to find out how to get started. Perhaps there is a suitable module for this that we can easily add to a stand-alone Drupal installation and build from there?
What is the most common way to get started with building an intranet in Drupal?
Kind of depends on what you mean by "intranet," but a Drupal instance, with access limited only to employees (and maybe business partners), sounds a lot like an Intranet to me. For internal access only, put it behind a firewall. For finer grained access control, and/or for remote/outside access, require log in for all access.
Beyond that, it's more a matter of what functions you want.
