Intranet / Extranet Solutions

What is an Intranet ?
It is a closed organization-wide network to which users have access to a single, central data source, business information or a suite of business applications.

Intranets can ensure standardization throughout the organization and consolidate all data into a single interchangeable data source. Customized data source reports assures that information that needs to be shared between departments is available to them. A .Net application retrieving data from the accounting package can communicate costs to management withour their ever accessing that solution. Customer and Vendor data is shared throughout departments requiring that information. Want to check to see if an invoice has been paid? By making that information available to departments outside, the accounting staff can do their job without that kind of interruption.

This seamless integration of applications ensures your company software remains 100% scaleable to grow with your business.

What is an Extranet ?
An Extranet is identical to an Intranet with the one exception that people from outside the organization can gain access to just some of the information stored within the organization's Intranet data source. An example might be an online merchant that allows users to view products, prices and stock levels that are hosted on the parent company's Intranet that would also have integrated it's own private accounts package, suppliers lists and employee databases etc. Alternatively an engineering company may want to allow a third party client securely gain access to view the progress of a particular job, but clearly deny that client access to all the company data that needs to remain private.
