A well-planned and well-managed Intranet can provide dramatic and immediate benefits to a company, such as faster internal working, increased employee satisfaction, reduced administrative costs, etc. Some common uses of Intranet are e-mailing, net-meetings, internet access sharing, internal website which may have human resource policies, sales & marketing programs, financials of the company, etc.

The security of the system becomes a major concern when a diverse group is involved; firewalls are used to insure overall system security. As with the Intranet, extranet provides similar benefits at inter-company level by improving inter-company information flows. Many a times these extranet solutions are business to business e-commerce solutions whereby authorized customers, vendors, etc. can perform business transactions quickly and easily over the web.
