Internet

The internet refers to interconnected networks that use standard communication protocols to transmit data across various networks. The computers communicate with each other using a TCP/IP protocol that makes it easier to transmit information. The internet is very crucial in the current world since it allows people to transmit and receive information from whatever part of the world, making it an essential tool to handle matters of education, business, and entertainment (Choi&Whang,2020).

Intranet

An intranet is a connection of a private computer network that uses the same technology as the internet. It is slightly different since it is used in a private capacity. It is used as a communication means among employees of an organization. Intranets allow employees to share documents and communicate with each other since it serves a private entity and it is more secure.

Extranet

An extranet refers to a private network used to link different organizations or a part of the organization. Its primary function is facilitating communication between entities or departments in organizations since it is a secure space that facilitates even communication of vital information (Cho & Whang,2020). An extranet allows access to information that is deemed private and is not available in the public domain. Businesses commonly use them for sharing information with partners, suppliers, and customers.

Electronic data interchange

EDI is a system in information technology that allows for the exchange of crucial business documents electronically between organizations. EDI creates a shift from manual data entry systems to a more efficient and effective way that is cost-effective. EDI is used to send documents such as purchase orders, invoices, and receipts. It is primarily used in business, where standardized transactions are dealt with.
