Extranet Frederic P. Miller, Agnes F. Vandome, McBrewster John Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. An extranet is a private network that uses Internet protocols, network connectivity. An extranet can be viewed as part of a company's intranet that is extended to users outside the company, usually via the Internet. It has also been described as a state of mind in which the Internet is perceived as a way to do business with a selected set of other companies, in isolation from all other Internet users. In contrast, business-to-consumer models involve known servers of one or more companies, communicating with previously unknown consumer users. |
