An extranet forms a part of a company's intranet that is extended to users outside the company. It is a private network that uses the Internet to securely share part of a business's information or operations with suppliers, vendors, partners, customers, or other businesses. An Extranet can be used to exchange large volumes of data using Electronic Data Interchange (EDI), share product catalogs exclusively with clients, collaborate with other companies on joint development efforts, and a lot more.
