In the last five years, the Internet has changed the way businesses
communicate. It provides a new platform for exchanging information
both inside and outside a company. As companies begin to leverage the
power of the Web, requirements for managing information in this new
medium become more complex.
To help address these needs, Webridge created Extranet. Webridge
Extranet provides businesses with everything they need for building
and managing a secure Web site for content, collaboration, and
commerce. Using Extranet, you can facilitate internal corporate
communications and automate external relationships with your business partners.
Unlike most portals today, the Webridge solution provides built-in
support for delegating ownership of your site. Using a simple design
metaphor, Extranet provides a mechanism for distributing content
management, so any authorized individual or group can own and manage
sections of your site.
In addition to distributed ownership, Webridge Extranet also
provides a simple solution to publishing secure information. In
traditional Web environments, publishing information on your site can
be a time-consuming task. Each time a new piece of collateral is
submitted, Web authors go through a series of steps to get the
document to the right location and provide the appropriate
navigational links. With traditional Web sites, it's also very
difficult to manage different levels of access to your documents.
With Webridge Extranet, managing public and private documents on
your site is easy. The site provides a simple set of forms that let
you submit documents in any format, such as Microsoft PowerPoint,
HTML, PDF, or Excel. By answering a simple set of questions about the
document, you can manage all aspects of publishing, such as:
Extranet takes a unique approach to information management. Using
forms and a standard browser, you can interact with your Web site to
control the flow of information between you and your colleagues, both
internal and external.
