Online business tools for clients continue to evolve in reaction to what has been previously driven, largely, by the consumer market. Ask yourself, what would your clients be happy doing for themselves that represents a significant cost to your organization?
– Joe Marcallini, Vice President of Internet Strategy
Extranet defined
The quintessential extranet can be summarized by observing the banking industry. What was once automated by teller machines is now automated online. Available balances, funds transfers, statement deliver, and even the purchase of foreign currency have all been centralized in web-based tools. These tools create a more efficient and convenient client experience.
Extranet allows you to stay connected outside your company
Extranet is similar to
intranet development, but instead it is accessible by those outside your company such as customers, partners, and suppliers. The most common extranet development applications include:
- Account Review
- Account Information Review & Management
- Invoice Archive
- Invoice Status
- Client Announcements
- Common Task Automation
- Customer Service Interactivity
- Frequently Asked Questions
- Online Payment Options
- Process Automation
- Service Requests and Tracking
