Extranets are transforming the way businesses conduct business over the
Internet such is their power. Rather than using conventional methods to
exchange information, companies can now leverage their investments in
Intranets and Internet technology and use an extranet to exchange
information and share applications with business partners, suppliers and
customers.

Extranets are designed to allow third party users into your corporate
network, whilst in this network they can carry out predetermined tasks and
interact with your company.

A typical example of an extranet could include any of
the following components or combination of components:
- Online training areas.
- Sharing and adding information to databases.
- Accounts management
- Online ordering with different customers
having different discount structures.
- Collaboration of information and ideas.
- Project Management.
- Custom applications, etc.

Extranets are all about security; they are designed to allow selective
individuals into areas of your extranet of your choosing. Each user can
have different security privileges and the information presented can be
customised to each users needs. In this way it is possible for example to
allow your customers into your extranet where each customer could have for
instance a different product catalogue specifically designed to meet their
needs and requirements, it can have different price structures for
different customers. it can tell customers what they typically order, it
can allow them to place orders and to check availability, delivery dates
and also of course to pay accounts online, plus numerous other tasks.

| Extranets
enable organisations to manage very specific rules about who has
permission to see or use what, and as a result they are giving
companies the control they need to share information and gain a
competitive edge.
