Extranets are intranets taken to the next logical conclusion. Whereas an intranet is company-wide, an extranet can be inter-company. Extranets partition off and separate your company's sensitive data contained in your intranet from the web services you offer to the world via the Internet. A secure extranet is the first stage of an e-Business implementation strategy.

Some advantages to utilizing an extranet are the following:

	Company-wide communications, email and program sharing
	Inter-company business communications and transactions
	Consumer support
	Online sales
	Conducting e-Commerce in a secure socket, encrypted manner
	Firewall protection
	Password protection
	Secure internal operations
	Vendor and supplier access world-wide product leverage

An extranet allows you to fully convert your business into an e-business.
