An extranet is a private network, provided by a business or organisation to a selected group of users using internet technologies.
An extranet enables you to share information or details of operations with selected users such as your trading partners, suppliers, vendors, and customers via their web browsers.
It can be as simple as a password-protected page on a web site, or an extended network of web sites across which trading partners share selected information, initiate orders and collaborate on product designs in real time.
The unique combination of openness and security offered by an extranet gives you the ability to deliver the right information to the right people at the right time. An extranet offers security and privacy and will allow your company or organisation to work more closely with its partners.
You can use it:
- As an information hub
- To securely share applications or information
- To develop collaborative working practices with other companies on joint development efforts
- As a platform for inventory software
- To exchange large volumes of data securely
The Benefits of an Extranet Solution
Depending on how you set up your extranet, it can offer your partners access to whichever parts of your internal operations you'd like them to see, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
You can personalise any content that you wish to share with others, and develop an extranet content management system within your business or organisation.
