An intranet is a computer network that uses Internet Protocol technology to share information, operational systems, or computing services within an organization.
Extranet is a form of a computer network that allows for safe access from the outside, it is mainly for business or educational purposes. For example, in a business-to-business example, the extranet is an extension of an organization's intranet that is extended to users outside the organization (partners, vendors, and suppliers), while isolated from other internet users. In contrast to this, a business-to-consumer (B2C) model involves known servers of one or more companies communicating with new consumer users. An extranet can be thought of as an area that provides access to needed services for channel partners, without allowing access to the entire organiztion's network.
BoardDome can use the intranet as a communication tool - to post weekly reports, memos, and goals. And thus, all the employees are on the same
page.
Intranet eliminates the time of talking or sending emails one by one. It is great when you have to communicate with more than one person at the same time.
For the extranet, BoardDome's customers can log in to it and take account of their orders and communicate with the sales and service stuff. If they have any questions, they no longer need to call to the company and wait for a long time on phone. Suppliers can also use extranets to make online catalogs available to vendors.
