Extranets
Say Goodbye to a Restricted and Rigid Environment
Intranets and extranets are basically private versions of the internet. Intranets differ from extranets in that intranets are generally restricted to employees of an organisation whereas extranets may be accessed by selected people outside of the organisation.
Intranet and Extranet Challenges
At their time both intranets and extranets were very useful tools, however today they come with some inherent disadvantages:
- Intranets and extranets are expensive to maintain
- They require complicated integration setups
- Although both intranets and extranets can be remotely accessed, they do require complex VPN systems
- The biggest disadvantage is the fact that they are closed systems. They tend to hide behind a firewall and you can only collaborate with someone within your organisation or an approved party.
Working with a traditional intranet or extranet would hinder your productivity because you cannot interact with people outside of a small approved circle.
