Internet or Intranet or Extranet

Internet

The Internet is fairly easy to visualize, an external connection to the global data network. But is it really that simple. Do you plan to do business on the Internet, just promote products and services or deliver valuable information? Are you going going to use the medium to open new avenues of business or communications or to extend your existing channels?

These simple questions lead to complex introspections that are necessary as you understand the impact of this technology. Going into this without guidance can lead you to much longer projects with more rework than is necessary, my consulting will help guide you through this brave new world.

Intranet

Turning the power of this communications technology inside your organization can yield powerful results in short periods of time with minimal efforts and investment. With the power of the Microsoft Internet Information Server, simple to complex web sites and capabilities rise from very small investments in hardware and software.

Linking this technology to existing systems and software can extend applications, create more flexible and effective applications in numerous areas - the possibilities are literally endless and well worth exploring. Your challenge is to understand where to leverage the technology first and then how to proceed. Again, outside guidance can expedite your journey and return on investment.

Extranet

Perhaps the most powerful of technology concepts, the Extranet is the Internet scaled to a specific set of sites, in most cases your own locations or trading partners. Through the ideas of streamlining your business information flow through all parts of the supplier and customer chain, you can gain tremendous benefits from reengineering into this new communications medium.

My Point

No matter what type of Internet you are considering - this is not an easy task to decide and plan. Once the planning is done, your project will be much simpler and easier to complete. Take the time to make sure you have explored and decided on all of the options available to you - let me provide you with the knowledge to make the best possible decisions you can.
