What is an extranet?

An extranet allows selected external parties, such as business partners, customers, suppliers, vendors and board members etc, to share information.

An extranet is not accessible to the general public and users will be an approved group of individuals whose access would be managed by a company administrator. Users can access the extranet by using a login and password.

Why choose an extranet?

Extranets are a cost effective way of sharing information with your trading/business partners 24 hours a day.

They can be used for numerous functions including:

• a secure way of sharing information
• a secure way of providing documents and reports
• online ordering and tracking goods

ClearPeople have implemented extranets for a number of law firms to provide their clients with secure access to their documents. This also provides the opportunity for document collaboration, deal tracking and discussion.

We have also provided our customers in other sectors extranet areas for Board Members or customers to access and share relevant documents and reports in a secure manner.
