Intranet / Extranet Solutions:

What is an Intranet ?
It is closed organisation wide network to which users have access to a single, central data source and suite of business applications.

This ensures standardisation throughout the organisation and consolidates all data into a single one interchangeable data source. This ensures that the accounts package can communicate with the client relationship manager so front line staff know what's been paid and what's not, and and the quotes package can talk to the stock control manager to see what's in stock and calculate how much a project will cost to produce.

This seemless integration of applications ensures your company software remains 100% scaleable to grow with your business.

What is an Extranet ?
An Extranet is identical to an Intranet with the one exception that people from outside the organisation can gain access to just some of the information stored within the organinisation's Intranet data source. An example might be an online merchant that allows users to view products, prices and stock levels that are hosted on the parent company's Intranet that would also have integrated it's own private accounts package, suppliers lists and employee databases etc. Alternatively an engineering company may want to allow a third party client securely gain access to view the progress of a particular job, but clearly deny that client access to all the company data that needs to remain private.
