2- Definition of an Extranet:

An Extranet is somewhat similar to an Intranet. Extranets are designed specifically to give external limited access to certain files of your computer systems to:

       Certain large or priviledged customers.
       Selected industry partners.
       Suppliers and subcontractors... etc.

Hence, a carefully designed Extranet can bring additional business to your company or organization and can facilitate exchange of important information to selected outside people in a business. Intranets and Extranets have 3 things in common:

A: They both use secured Internet access to the outside world.
B: They both drastically save your company or organization a lot of money.
C: They both need a user ID and password to safely control access to the whole system.

Major cost savings come in the way of: much less paper printed and deployed, zero costs to distribute the information all around the globe and much faster dessimination speed of the information, completely independant of different time zones.
