An Intranet's Web sites look and act just like any other Web sites, but the Intranet is set up using what is called a firewall, which prevents unauthorised access from outsiders.

If you're here, you're familiar with the internet. You've probably also heard of an intranet, and you might even belong to one. What, exactly, is the difference?

Accessibility Extranets are accessible from outside the network, for example, via a home Internet connection, without having to gain access to the internal company network.

Intranet solutions currently on the market can be divided into two parts: the ones targeting solely intranets and the ones that are a part of a more comprehensive content management platform.
