Can we use google analytics for Internal website?


I have an Intranet application which is accessible from within company firewall. To track some specific pages, I want to implement Google Analytics in my Intranet application. This application is accessible from outside only when user system has some specific certificate installed. Is it possible to implement Google Analytics in my Intranet application? Will this Google analytics work inside company firewall? How Google analytics work i.e. what is the actual flow of google analytics?
