If your organization works in project teams, has an active sales force or retail store clientele , or collaborates with partners or suppliers, you owe it to yourself to look into setting up an extranet.
Say you need to communicate constantly with your clients to hammer out all the details of a project. Or you have a board of directors who needs to review documents and files for strategic planning.
Or you have a sales team and retail stores that need access to up-to-date promotional materials or sales documentation.
Or you have a staff of 50+ who needs to be made aware of what is going on in each department and a centralized human resources communications tool.
An extranet or intranet could make your organization considerably more efficient and could save you time and money. An extranet is increasingly considered to be a vital tool for streamlining communication. It helps reduce the time and cost of sharing information across many people and many locations. It allows you to work efficiently in groups and to maintain high quality client services.
What’s Involved in Setting Up an Extranet?
There are a number of turnkey solutions out on the market. E-Crew can help you source an out-of-box solution or can build a custom extranet that will serve all of your organization’s needs.
Working with an extranet is no longer a high-tech task. Self-management tools can allow users with minimal Internet knowledge to maintain them. All you need is a PC and an Internet connection.
