Intranets and Extranets

Good internal communication is vital to any organisation, but can represent a real challenge. While intranets and extranets may use the same technology as websites, each has a very different role.

Intranet

We use our specialist knowledge in content management systems to create intranet applications that are user-friendly to everyone from the IT department to Human Resources.

From a simple internal communications site featuring contact details to a full corporate intranet that brings together document management, databases and customer relationship management, we can offer a usable custom-made solution.

Some of the benefits of a well-structured intranet include:

• Access to up-to-the-minute information
• More efficient working
• Shared knowledge and best practice
• Improved communication
• Reduced paperwork
• Remote access for homeworkers.

Extranet

The main difference between an extranet and an intranet are the target audience.

Extranets are essentially websites that link two or more companies through secure access over the internet. Suppliers will praise the better communication, and customers will love the efficient, easy access to orders and accounts.

We can help you to select and implement the right technical solution, to ensure that your extranet functionality will provide your partners, customers and suppliers the right level of access, exposure and communication.
