The Internet may be wonderful - but....: giving the Internet what it lacks: security, reliability, manageability through extranet technology

Article Abstract:

Extranet technology promises to be the key to achieving reliability, security and manageability with Internet use among insurance companies.

An extranet would promote communication among business partners, vendors and customers as well as allow specialized applications.
