The Internet delivers huge opportunities, allowing access to virtually any source of human knowledge and culture. Yet at the same time it is a frustration and threat, with users unable to find what they seek or drowned in a sea of unproductive content. Know what you are looking for, be specific, and the Internet is a wonder; be a little imprecise or unsure and the results can be shocking and in many cases offensive.

With Interent search engines listing only 14% of all information on the web, how can people find what they are looking for? How do we protect our children and indeed ourselves, when a fun ‘web search’ can spawn costly and dangerous results? How can we ensure our employees use the Internet to aid productivity, yet not to destroy it? In essence, how can we harness the power of the Internet in a manner that gives each individual user the only the focused information they are looking for?

One answer is the development of ‘online communities’ that share common interests, demographics or culture, By creating such communities, organisations can use the profile and interests of members to deliver safe, timely and targetted access to productive and useful information. The Community Internet Solutions (CIS) portfolio consists of a modular range of technology and Internet solutions that are designed to assist in the creation, development and growth of dynamic Internet communities.
