Intranets
What is the difference between an Intranet and Extranet and does my business need either?
An Intranet provides a single point for any business or organisation to consolidate its information into one convenient location regardless of how many offices or departments they operate, once logged-in a user can access information on the intranet.
An extranet extends an intranets capabilities by allowing secure
internet access from any internet connected computer.
The word Intranet remains the predominent term for describing both Intranets
and Extranets (we will refer to it as an Intranet / Extranet, we don't mind
what you call it).
Its just like having your own private internet.
