How to Select and Implement an Extranet

What does an extranet really buy you? What business problems does it address? What about ROI? Training? Hidden costs--and benefits? For $39 and two hours of your time, get answers to these and many other questions!

You probably already know that an extranet is a Web-based collaboration tool for working with people outside your organization. But did you know that there is a wide variety of extranet types--ASP, software for your system, email-based, peer-to-peer?

What’s the “low-hanging fruit” for extranet implementation priorities? What are the most common obstacles, and how do you overcome them? Do you understand security issues?

Dr. Joel Orr, renowned futurist, speaker, and author, will help you find the answers to these and other questions about the power and pitfalls of extranets. And you will hear from users who have gone through the process--and be able to get all your questions answered.

Here's a brief outline of this information-packed event:

• What’s an extranet? Some brief and clear definitions.

• What’s it good for? The twelve principal benefits of extranets and how to quantify them for your situation.

• What’s it bad for? Extranets are not the solution to every problem. When should you use something else--and what?

• Criteria: Product/service. How do you specify the qualities you want in an extranet?

• Criteria: Vendor. What are the characteristics of a good extranet vendor?

• User accounts. “Ask the man who owns one,” is a pretty old, but still-valid, piece of buying advice. Men--and women--who have selected and are using extranets have a lot of down-to-earth advice for you.

• Implementation planning. What are the six main points of an implementation plan?

• Execution. Learn the three crucial actions that are part of a successful extranet implementation. Find out how to overcome the five most-common implementation obstacles.

• Follow-up. The five points of maintaining a successful extranet?

• The future of extranets: What will this technology look like in five years? How should you prepare for it?

• References: Where else can you go for reliable information?
