Intranet, Extranet and Web Portal Development

Large corporations, non-profit organizations and small-to-medium size businesses are continually challenged by their employees, customers and business partners to provide timely access to personalized up-to-date information and business-to-business transactions from any place, at any time. Intranets, Extranets and corporate Web portals are a proven way to meet those requirements and to manage the flow of communication with employees within a corporation, and through Extranets, with customers and partners outside the corporate environment. Intranets, Extranets and Web portals allow information to be delivered through a standard Web browser interface, and can be extended to include access into other core corporate business systems.

Intranets, Corporate Web Portals and Extranets Increase Efficiency

Extranets are changing the way companies do business with their suppliers and customers, while Intranets and corporate Web portals change the way companies communicate and collaborate within their own organizations. They allow the organization and dissemination of information, share calendar appointments and documents, assign and manage project tasks, and enable efficient communication - all accessible from anywhere in the world. Intranets, corporate portals and Extranets are contributing to the bottom line through increased efficiency and customer service.

The Role of Intranets

An Intranet is a private computer network that uses Web technologies to securely share parts of the organization's information or operational systems with its employees. Intranets are much more than a basic host for the company's electronic phone book and human resource manuals - though these components remain critically important. Today, they are having a growing strategic role at companies in supporting work processes. Intranets differ from Extranets in that the former are generally restricted to employees of the organization, while Extranets may also be accessed by customers, suppliers or other approved business partners.

Extranets Give Corporations a Competitive Edge

Extranets are essentially Web-enabled closed-loop networks within a corporation. An Extranet can add significant value to corporations and small-to-medium size businesses by facilitating more effective communication and collaboration with clients, customers and partners by extending the network access to customers and partners, with special provisions for access, authorization, authentication and permission. Extranets allow customers and company partners to access information, place orders and perform simple online transactions. When properly implemented, Extranets can give corporations, non-profits and businesses an edge over the competition, saving them money by streamlining traditional business functions and cutting overhead costs.

Corporate Web Portals - Single-point Access, Customization, Personalization

A corporate or enterprise Web portal is an internal corporate Web site with a home page that functions as a single-access point to the entire corporate content database; search facilities, collaboration tools, individual departments, workgroups and project-specific Intranets, online applications and security mechanisms. This integrated environment acts as a one-stop shop, or ‘gateway,' for users' information and system needs. Rather than having to manually gather information from various sources, a corporate portal provides users with everything they need in one central location.

A corporate or enterprise information portal differentiates from an Intranet in that it allows corporations and organization to customize and personalize the portal environment. This means that each user who logs onto the portal will have a different view of the system and only receives the specific content they are interested in, eliminating the need for excessive site navigation.
