ABSTRACT Interactive Intranet Portal for effective management in Tertiary Institution is an enhanced and interactive method of managing and processing key issues in Tertiary Institution, Problems of result processing, tuition fee payment, library resources management are analyzed in this work. An interface was generated to handle this problem; the software is an interactive one. Several modules are involved in the paper, like: LIBRARY CONSOLE, ADMIN, STAFF, COURSE REGISTRATION, CHECKING OF RESULTS and E-NEWS modules. The server computer shall run the portal as well as OPEN SOURCE Apache Web Server, MySQL Community Edition RDBMS and PHP engine and shall be accessible by client computers on the intranet via thin-client browser such as Microsoft Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox. It shall be accessible through a well-secured authentication system. This Project will be developed using OPEN SOURCE technologies such XAMMP developed from WAMP (Windows Apache MySQL and PHP).

An interface was generated to handle this problem, the software is an interactive one. An intranet is a network inside an organization that uses internet technologies (such as web browsers and servers, TCP/IP networks protocols, HTML hyper media document publishing and databases, etc) to provide an intranet-like environment with the organization for information sharing, communications, collaboration, and the support of business processes. An intranet is protected by security measures such as passwords, encryption, and firewalls, and thus can be accessed by authorized users through the intranet. Secure intranets are now the fastest-growing segment of the internet because they are less expensive to build and manage than private networks based on proprietary protocols.
Internets appeared in the mid-1990s and were perceived as the answer to the need for the integration of existing information systems into organizations. Despite the fact that has been extensive research regarding implementation, development processes, policies, standardization vs. creativity and so forth, the potentiality of intranets has not been fully exploited. Intranets offer many advantages in the form of working networks that support and enables empowered employees to participate in the development of the organization, to enable the measurement of essential functions and to monitor industries conditions and find suitable functions that support doing work.[1]
