Definition: An
extension of a corporation's Intranet,
using Internet technologies, allowing
communication between
the
company and the resources it
deals with, often by providing secure
and
limited
access to its intranet.
An
Extranet is an extension of an Intranet
spanned across a company's customers,
suppliers, and partners.
An Extranet also link communities of interest
to a corporate Intranet over a shared
infrastructure
using dedicated connections. Businesses
enjoy the same policies as a private
network between internal and external
resources.
It
narrows
the communication and information-sharing
gap between a corporation and its stakeholders.
Extranets are often implemented to accommodate the ordering process from
close customers or to allow the sharing
of a knowledge-base. An Extranet is not just beneficial for the primary party,
but also for the third
party
.
Great opportunities
exist to create strong channels of
communications and collaboration
with employees, suppliers, distributors,
representatives, key customers and
partners through corporate Extranets.
