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.
