How To Create An Intranet / Extranet With WordPress

An intranet or extranet is a great hub gathering all the resources of a company or organization in a single, centralized place. It can be used to inform about latest news, events, internal job postings, and special offers for employees for instance, but also for in-house training. We’ve got some pretty good news for smaller companies being on a tight budget. There’s absolutely no need to spend a fortune on expensive (SaaS) solutions. All this can be done with WordPress and Woffice on your own server.
