Wikis are increasingly being used inside corporations. Wikis permit groups to:

• Quickly and easily create a website
• Eliminate series of e-mail exchanges with attachments among a group
• Avoid dealing with complex and expensive groupware in collaborating with others

Many corporate wikis that are for internal use only are hidden behind a network firewall where access is limited. However, some corporate wikis are being hosted by wiki hosting services on the Internet, but are set up as "private" wikis with restricted access. Some corporations are using wikis to communicate to the public, as a key part of their branding.
