Intranets and Extranets
While the primary motivation for middle-market sized companies to develop an Internet strategy is marketing related there are other benefits to consider - primarily Intranets and Extranets. Intranets and extranets are extensions of a traditional web site that serve as productivity and customer/partner relationship mechanisms. Intranets and extranets are the most common manifestation of eBusiness.

Intranet. In short an Intranet is a private website for a company's internal staff to use. Intranets typically contain things like human resource or benefit information, contact information, internal reports, company tools to increase productivity, timesheet reporting etc.

Extranet. In short an Extranet is also a private website, which links a company with its trading partners (both customers and business partners). Extranets have a vast array of possibilities, including information sharing, customer self service, project management, billing, event management etc.

ViewSource has built a variety of intranets and extranets for our clients ranging from large companies like Nationwide Insurance to solid middle market manufactures like Hinkle Manufacturing to non-profits like the Cincinnati Alliance for Healthcare Marketing. While each intranet or extranet is different they all have one thing in common: increased revenue acquisition and/or increased productivity.
