Extranet and intranet

What is an intranet?

An intranet is a Web-type application that serves to meet a company’s management and internal communication needs.

The key advantages of a well-working intranet include:

• a quick update of the system on the server;
• savings in terms of time and money;
• better communication among a company’s various members and services;
• custom solutions tailored to your needs;
• no client-side application, except for the Internet browser.

The main categories of intranets:

• Simple communication: a simple communication platform between company management and employees; 
• Collaboration and sharing: this intranet model integrates the concepts of collaborative work and the sharing of information amongst employees of the same organization (forum, blog, document management, photo gallery, etc.);
• Custom management system: this intranet model is developed when a company has special needs that cannot be met by any management system on the market and for which an intranet platform is ideal.

What is an extranet?

An extranet allows access to an information base without any geographic restrictions. All that is needed is a code to gain access. This system is quite useful for ensuring better communication with suppliers, clients or even affiliates or to automate processes for these users.

The key advantages of a well-working extranet include:

• lower costs, thanks to the elimination of handling paper documents for your clients; 
• improved productivity; 
• service 24 hours a day, 7 days a week; 
• no client-side application, except for the Internet browser.
