intranet or extranet
Not what you're looking for?
You have managed to take FYC to the next level by setting up an e-commerce website for selling furniture using the Internet. Portals and collaboration applications involving internet, intranet, and extranet applications "talk" to each other to provide a seamless, paperless, real-time, workflow environment to manage all business operations.
Now you have made sufficient impact on the top line; it is now time to concentrate on the bottom line. How can intranets and extranets make a difference in FYC's operations? Where should they be deployed? Study each department's functions and processes in detail; choose one: (a) Intranet or (b) Extranet. What functionalities should the $$tranet contain? And what will be the benefits for FYC?
Be sure to discuss either an intranet or extranet in detail and what benefits either could provide. I want to see an indepth discussion on one not a high level discussion on both.

Solution Preview
An intranet serves employees and an extranet offers organizations a way to extend the Intranet experience to external business relationships such as partners, members, analysts, franchisees, sponsors, investors, resellers etc. The benefits of these sites are potentially huge as they increase the speed and efficiency with which employees or partners connect. Tangible results of extranets include increasing sales and extending business channels. The value of an intranet is not always apparent and as such sometime taken for granted, however, its benefits to an organization can be immeasurable in terms of improving operational efficiencies, enabling information distribution to employees across locations, and enhancing productivity.
Although the extranet and intranet differ in function, their goals usually align--that is to provide for secure communication and collaboration, and to offer a more efficient content management solution.
