Having all of your key business information easily and quickly accessible will help your business to prosper. Providing those on your supply chain, including your customers, with all the information they need to improve their business relationship with you will help your business to grow and develop. Intranets and extranets make use of all the technology of the internet to supply these things through secure managed channels so helping you to monitor and control your business in a cost-effective way. If used properly they can drastically speed up the pace with which you can communicate within a geographically dispersed community.
Just as there are many internal uses for web technology, companies often need to find better ways to communicate with external customers and suppliers. Extranets can improve your sales, marketing, supplier and customer service channels by allowing these groups of users to access your extranet and obtain the information they need.
Extranet application areas for customers, partners, and dealers include:
*product brochures & specifications
*product pricing
*frequently asked questions
*ordering information
*distributor/sales contact list
*customer support contact numbers
*details of warranties/support documents
*employee recruitment
