The internet is a worldwide network of computer networks that allows people to share information. An intranet, on the other hand, is a private and internal network that allows people within a company. An extranet is a web portal that is accessible to an organization's external vendors, partners, and customers.
The intranet is a platform that can be purchased and sold, whereas the internet is the underlying technology that allows it to connect.
Intranets are only used by internal employees, whereas extranets serve as a conduit between the organisation and outside parties.
The modern intranet, with its increased flexibility, capabilities, and user-friendliness, has emerged as a critical tool for communication, collaboration, knowledge management, culture and engagement.
