Intranet and extranet sites serve a variety of useful purposes and can play a role in the efficiency and success of your organization. Your infolane representative can help you understand the benefits and costs of developing your site.

When a "Web" Site is developed for the benefit of your internal constituency and made available through your LAN, or local area network, it is called an intranet.

When a "Web" Site is developed for the private use of both internal and external parties and made available through the Internet or a VPN (virtual private network), it is called an extranet.

In both cases it is the enabling power of Web technology that makes them possible at reasonable cost.
