An intranet is an internal network where employees can create content, communicate, collaborate, have a members directory, access to daily use tools and develop the company culture.

An extranet is like an intranet, but also provides controlled access to authorized customers, vendors, partners, or others outside the company.

Maybe you are wondering why you need an intranet/extranet, so here are a short list with 10 benefits to think to have one now:

1. Simplifies new employees onboarding
2. Improves internal communication
3. Helps employees to find information
4. Provides organizational clarity
5. Reinforces your unique brand and values
6. Encourages knowledge sharing between employees
7. Improves employee engagement
8. Reduces emails and meetings
9. Brings your workplace culture to life
10. Connects your company members across locations and time zones

Still not convinced?

Well those benefits could appear a little abstract or utopian so here are specific tools you can have inside an intranet:

Awesome dashboards — post your events, notifications, calendars, corporate graphs, post and news easily.

Community — allow your employees to build fully functional community, organize in groups and departments, communicate with ease and fun.

File sharing — every user can share documents, reports and any other files.*

Polls — you can run internal polls and researches, share results using various graphs.
