Corporate Extranets
An Extranet refers to a group of websites or an intranet that is partially
accessible to authorized outsiders, belonging to independent entities that
are combined together in order to share information. An extranet provides
various levels of accessibility to outsiders.
This is in contrast to an intranet, which is a private site that is only
accessible for employees of an entity.
Extranets are becoming a very popular means for business partners to
exchange information.
Extranets are used in the supply chains to allow for more effective
communications along the supply chain. They are replacing proprietary
standard networks that are considerably more expensive to establish, and
therefore were only used by large organizations.
WHY DO I NEED AN EXTRANET ?
There are several reasons that your business could use an extranet. The
main reasons include:
-
It reduces costs.
-
Extremely easy to use.
-
Improves information flow.
-
Connects PCs, Macs and UNIX easily.

firewall and is accessible only to people who are members of the
same company or organization, an extranet provides various levels of
accessibility to outsiders. You can access an extranet only if you
have a valid username and password, and your identity determines
which parts of the extranet you can view.
