Common Intranet & Extranet Features

• Centralized Information & Collaboration - An intranet can host meeting schedules, appointment calendars and key employee and client profiles. An intranet allows you to store, access, view, modify and manage a wide spectrum of information generated within your company such as white papers, sale collaterals, power point presentations, press release, internal and external forms, customer special offers and campaign information.
  
  
• Sales & Lead Generation Tool - An intranet is the perfect environment to host a feature-rich sales application that provides capture, analysis, filtering, sale and custom delivery of leads and a comprehensive auto-responder system to automatically introduce your customers or sales agents to the leads they purchase.
  
  
• Auto Notifications - An intranet can be customized to know when new items, leads or sales fulfillment have been obtained through E-mail notifications. Notifications can be set up to be automatically sent, forwarded, or BCC when items are created, modified, moved or routed to the appropriate departments or managers.
  
  
• External Customer and Program Out-Reach - An intranet enables you to access other web-based applications from one central location, such as external demos and customer portals that are hosted on your extranet.
  
  
• Human Resources - From employee training materials to the employee handbook, an intranet can offer quick easy access to fundamental publications to all employees. Benefits, 401 k tracking, job applications, and an employee directory are just a few examples. A company newsletter and employee newsgroups or chat boards are other opportunities an intranet affords.
  
  
• Employee and Customer Training - One of the most productive uses of an intranet is interactive multimedia training. Sales reports, forecasts and goals, marketing strategies and geographic saturation are all tools the intranet can keep available at the click of a mouse. Profiles of potential new markets or clients, and information on potential competing markets can also be helpful to sales staff in designing better sales models. An intranet is not limited to conduct internal activity only, but it also allows a external training or product demonstration appointments to clients.
  
  
• Data Management - An intranet is an ideal place to develop custom data solutions. The custom data could be used to facilitate a wide range of business needs.
  
  
• Accounting - Requisition requests on an intranet will save time, resources and money. Pages within an intranet can be password protected to limit employee access, or administratively controlled. Payroll, receivables/payables, and budget reports are all processes that can reside on the intranet.
  
  
• Executive Information Access - Bottom line information like quarterly profit/loss reports, ROI on projects and campaign efforts, stock market analysis, tax and legal information, merger or partnership information, and external contracts can all be securely provided on an intranet.
