Knowlege and Content Solutions

What is an Intranet?

An Intranet is a bit like the whole Internet but on a smaller scale. Instead of using Search Engines and Bookmarks and so on to navigate and keep to date with all of the information on the Web, Intranet users deploy the same methods to find and keep up to date with information which is internal to a company. So an Intranet is like an in-company Internet.

What about an Extranet?

An Extranet is the name given to an Intranet whose use is extended outside the company, for instance to strategic suppliers, to regular customer and/or to strategic partner companies.

Are these secure?

Yes, access is via the Internet, but the information is shielded behind security solutions to password holders only. There are a variety of established and proven techniques which are used to prevent hackers from gaining access.

And what is Content Management?

Content Management is the name given to approaches which make the process of publishing web content rapid and easy, enabling end users to put up information and documents into an Intranet or Extranet (or even onto a public Web Site) without the need and delay of using specialists to undertake this task.

And what are the benefits?

As with all Internet technology projects, the benefits come from cost reduction, process acceleration and customer satisfaction. By making up to date information rapidly available to employees, suppliers, customers and others, companies can become more reactive at lower cost. By unlocking knowledge and making it available to those who need it, they can gain competitive advantage by responding to the market and being more light of foot than the competition.
