While Forrester Research reports that two-thirds of Fortune 1000 corporations have intranets, 38 percent of companies surveyed for the IKON Index now have one. The most popular use of corporate intranets is internal e-mail communications (71 percent of all companies), followed by company bulletin boards (59 percent)"
