Intranets and extranets are very powerful
tools if adopted as part of the working culture of an organisation
and it’s partners. They have the potential to save
you both time and money by providing a quick, efficient
and easy-to-use line of communication for your staff, clients
and suppliers.
An intranet uses web technologies within an organization
to enable individuals to communicate with each other, share
information and collaborate on projects. Intranets can help
reduce costs by providing fast and easy access to one source
of corporate information.
An extranet on the other hand uses
web technologies to enable organisations to share information
externally with their customers and suppliers, through secure
and authenticated communication channels. This enables more
effective connections and cooperation between you and your
business partners, leading to closer business relationships,
increased efficiencies and reduced costs of operating; a
significant advantage in today''s competitive market place. Summary of
