recognized entry point. A team of five people develops, maintains, and implements Silicon Junction, its contents, and a standardized set of policies and procedures. The successful implementation of this infrastructure created an opportunity to extend intranet use from a content-based information repository to include transaction-based applications. These applications have allowed Silicon Graphics to realize significant productivity benefits by improving their existing relational database applications. One of the first process-enabling applications of the intranet was the New Employee System, which enables managers to efficiently process new employee information. The findings of this study show great opportunities for future growth for intranet applications within Silicon Graphics. These include automation tools that enable 3D computing, video broadcasting, forecasting, and workflow applications, as well as collaborative systems such as Web-based desktop videoconferencing and automated phone and fax systems. The rapid evolution of Silicon Graphics' intranet highlights a widespread commitment to the practice of the company's business philosophies. The 180,000 Web pages and the 2,200 Web sites created over 18 months by Silicon Graphics employees illustrates this commitment.
