ExtraNet Design

 

 

 

 

 

Information is a valuable commodity in these fast paced internet times.  The real challenge that businesses have is getting the right information to the right place at the right time.  ATX has more tools to get this information out than ever before.

If you currently have a web site,  think about its true function.  Does it help you to accomplish any of your companies goals and initiatives?

If the answer is no,  then you may want to rethink your web presence and strategy.  How can you make your web work for you?

Use it to communicate to both internal and external customers!

An extranet does several things to help deliver the right information at the right time.

  • Available anywhere
  • Available any time
  • Easy to navigate
  • Easy to update

We develop extranets with a product that formats your information into a Windows Help format complete with a Table of Contents, Index and full text word Search capabilities. We keep the data up to date for you so that the information database can become a real usable resource for both your customers and your employees.  Most people like to help themselves to information that they want.  This extranet allows them to do just that. As a result you can realize a reduction in direct calls for such information.

Security - In cases where you only want specific customer and employee access, we provide a password screen and logging  administration tools that allow you to control the level of access of each user.  This can be important when you want to share information within your company but not with the general public or your competition.

Another use for the extranet is file sharing.

"We needed to share files in a common location;  the extranet allows us to do just that"

 

You can post files that are frequently requested.  This again allows your customers to help themselves to the information that they want.

Collaboration -  You can also implement a custom extranet that allows file sharing,  a common calender,  discussion threads,  and file uploading from web browsers.  These are more advanced capabilities that are very useful to groups that are not located in the same office.
