Electronic Storefronts offers custom Intranets and Extranets to create
efficiency and improve functionality for your company.
An Intranet is a private network that allows people to access
shared information via an internal private website. Intranet allows for
the storage and retrieval of internal information, by only the people on
your network. You could use intranets to store competitor data, contracts,
financial reports, client files, employee handbooks, vacation schedules,
project logs, and management forms. Intranets allow you to update
information in one place, rather than multiple places through out your
conventional filing systems. They also ensure that everyone has access to
the same information, and that the information is as up-to-date and
comprehensive as possible.
An Extranet is simply an Intranet that can be access from the
outside world. You decide which select members of the outside world, such
as customers, clients, vendors, members, suppliers, and staff can access
your extranet. Since an Extranet is a protected portion of a public
Internet site, it is a great way for a company to control the distribution
of materials, documents and other content that is reserved for a targeted
group of users. For example, customers of a steel distributor may need to
access their inventory lists with detailed specifications, but access by
just anyone could compromise the company's position with its competitors.
A protected area of the website, accessible to only registered users, is a
very cost-effective way to solve this problem. Typically, extranets are
kept secure by passwords and encryption.
