Extranets unite customers, partners and suppliers in a productive, collaborative portal environment |
 |
Extranets as extensions of intranets and enterprise portals can be efficient mechanisms to unite customers, partners and suppliers in a collaborative environment that enable communication, transactions, reporting, shared information and knowledge.
Extranets have been evolving since the early days of the internet when intranets were being developed for organizations. Enterprises have been working to bring customers, partners and suppliers into a single, integrated environment that provides communications, transactions, information, reporting and knowledge sharing.
Extranets can be a productive way for collaborative and real-time partnering and can also be used to integrate systems and exchange information and data between partnering networks.
Extranets as an extension of the enterprise's intranet and enterprise portal can create a larger, common environment that helps build stronger and more productive partnerships with customers, partners and suppliers. |
