Intranets and Extranets

Intranets and extranets

Web technology doesn't just deliver business benefits through websites: it can also be used to create intranets and extranets that simplify processes, improve efficiency and give users instant access to vital information.

By having an intranet (a website accessed solely within your organisation) you can do more than improve day-to-day communication. When you make more information available to more people, you can support their sales, marketing, customer service and administration performance. You can also deliver online training, provide human resources information and even simplify filing and documents retrieval.

For SMEs that so far have not felt that intranets are right for them, we can create systems that are manageable, easy to use and maintain, and that make financial sense. By generating efficiencies and a better flow of information throughout the business, an intranet can become a real business asset.

With an intranet in place you can for example make all your sales presentations available to the sales team - and ensure everyone uses the same, up-to-date version. You can also maintain product specifications centrally so everyone always has access to the correct details, and keep up-to-date corporate policies, procedures and a searchable company phone directory.

And of course, an extranet lets you open up information for access by selected external people, such as customers and suppliers. You can dramatically simplify processes by delivering the right information this way. For example, why not provide useful information about order progress to customers, or raw materials specifications to suppliers?
