    abstract = {Most establishments including academic institutions under goes the lengthy process of study-based
document handling such as direct mailing, indexing and tracking. This daily task is time consuming and
resource-intensive. Using a private network dedicated for such document management would benefit the
establishment increasing operational efficiency. In this study, the Information and Communication Engineering
(ICE) Department was used as a model to determine the requirements needed to build the intranet network. A
packet tracer simulator was used to build a virtual intranet architecture.Then the simulation report was examined
to ensure optimum functionality. Upon establishing a stable behavior an intranet infrastructure building
commenced using the available hardware components and software.The system architecture was based on
Windows 2012R2 server to manage 3 separated sub-networks connected to three switches and one router.
Running the intranet for one semester proved its success in providing a fast, cheap and simplified service for
all department needs. The accomplished system is a step forward to achieve a full electronic department in
scientific establishments.}
