What is an extranet?

An extranet is most commonly referred to as an extension of an intranet, a private network containing information about the company accessible only to those in its employment. Extranets act as a link to select individuals outside the company by allowing them access to the information stored inside the intranet.

Internet protocols are typically utilized by extranets so as to provide browser navigation even though the network is situated on a private server. A username and password system can be configured to sectors of the content so as to prevent users from accessing information they have no authorization for.

How can your business benefit from an extranet?

Most companies and organizations will typically set up an extranet to provide access to specific content within the intranet for important customers, partners, suppliers, investors, etc. It is regarded as a cost-effective means for businesses to share and trade information, applications and data effectively, at any given time of the day. Extranets are also considered as a "state of mind" in which the Internet is recognized as a platform for companies to conduct business-to-business deals. Thus, making use of it can assist in strengthening relationships between two or more organizations.

Extranets are also largely beneficial for companies that employ staff whose job requires a significant amount of time spent outside the office, such as those who work from home or in sales. It's an advantage for such employees as they can access, from anywhere they are, the information they may require.
