Short Take: Client-server systems or intranets?

Business Research Group, a high-technology analyst firm, released a new report detailing the evolution of client-server-based layouts to intranets. The survey found that 80 percent of respondents will use intranet technologies on top of existing client-server systems, with only 13 percent believing intranet-based systems will completely replace existing client-server equipment. The firm defined an "intranet" as the use of a Web browser to access internal applications.
