Date: Wed, 9 May 2001 14:24:18 -0400 From: Chair Subject: Special FrontPage meeting next Tuesday We have had many requests to cover the subject of Intranets, a function FrontPage is capable of authoring. In order to understand the basics behind their design, infrastructure and deployment, we went to the big guns in the world of intranets: Intranets.com. Intranets.com is the world's largest provider of hosted Intranets for corporations, small businesses, non-profit and educational groups. They are based in Woburn, Massachusetts, with worldwide offices in Tokyo and the Netherlands. These secure, Web-based workplaces are designed for group communication and collaboration. Their applications include group calendars, member and contact directories, document library, opinion poll, group-enabled task manager, hosted e-mail, threaded discussions, and more. Joining us next Tuesday the 15th will be Karen Leavitt, Vice President of Product Marketing for Intranets.com. Karen is responsible for overall product planning and management at Intranets.com. She works closely with their development group to bring new product features and enhancements to market quickly. Karen came to Intranets.com from NewsEdge Corporation where she served first as director of business development responsible and later as director of engineering. In the late 1980s Karen was with Lotus Development Corporation helping to define and drive the development of networked products for large enterprises. Please join us at Microsoft next Tuesday, May 15th at 6:30PM for an insider's look at the world of Intranets. +++++++++++++++ Also, reserve June 6th!
