ExtranetAn extranet is a website that is accessible to a select user group such as employees of a company, vendors, partners and customers. Extranets are like an internet site in that they can display any kind of content you would normally see on a website such as text, images, links to documents, etc. Extranet pages are typically used by businesses to provide information and a communication tool to employees, vendors and customers outside the corporate network and firewall. Extranets can be used for e-commerce by including products and services with a shopping cart feature. Some companies have leveraged extranets for project collaboration allowing team members to post and review project artifacts such as requirements documents, process flows and other information critical to the project success.Software titles exist to assist in the development of extranets (and intranets) such as Microsoft Sharepoint and other open source software titles. Some web design service companies will design extranets for customers which can either be accessed via a web portal, through a direct URL, or after a person has logged onto a corporate VPN. | Business Process ManagementBusiness Process ManagementBusiness Process Management Terms Automated Decision Engine Automated Decision Engine Terms Document Imaging Document Imaging Terms Key Performance Indicator Key Performance Indicator Terms Process Mapping Process Mapping Terms Return on Investment Workflow Automation Workflow Automation Terms Disaster RecoveryDisaster RecoveryDisaster Recovery Terms LogisticsGPS LogisticsGPS Logistics Terms Logistics Logistics Terms Marketing and SalesSocial Networking SitesBlogging Blogging Terms Customer Relationship Managment Customer Relationship Management Terms Email Marketing Email Marketing Terms Search Engine Optimization Search Engine Optimization Terms Social Networking Social Networking Terms Viral Marketing Viral Marketing Terms Project ManagementProject ManagementProject Management Terms Request for Proposal Requirements Gathering Requirements Gathering Terms Software and Database DesignDatabase DevelopmentDatabase Development Terms Information Silo Nearshoring Nearshoring Terms Offshoring Offshoring Terms Software Design Software Design Terms Software Development Software Development Terms Web Site DesignCommercial Off-the-ShelfCommercial Off-the-Shelf Terms Content Management CMS Content Management CMS Terms Extranet Extranet Terms Intranet Intranet Terms Web Site Design Web Site Design Terms |
