Intranets and extranets assist companies with internal collaboration as well as customer communication and the exchange of data. The use of an intranet or extranet will streamline operations and improve employee production allowing an increase in communication among staff and keep clients involved in projects and correspondence.

Intranet
An intranet is the private, internal network that manages company information, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Use an intranet to help integrate manuals, guides, newsletters, announcements, scheduling information, reports, lists, and more.

Extranet
An extranet allows individual companies to share secure information with such outside parties as suppliers, vendors, customers and business partners using the Internet. An extranet works just like an intranet, except it is accessible using a password over the Internet

When you look at the sheer volume of information stored by companies today including reams of printed information like computer documentation, procedures, specifications, and reference documents, you quickly see the argument for taking information online. Users no longer have time to wade through a shelf full of manuals to find some obscure tidbit of information. Also, companies can no longer justify the cost of printing all this information without any guarantee that users are actually reading it. Then there is the problem of keeping all that printed information up-to-date. New technology gives us a way to put all of these documents online for instant access by authorized users. Intranet and extranets can be used as an efficient and secure means for your company to improve its communications.
