Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An extranet is a secure online system that allows authorized users from outside an organization, such as distributors, to access certain internal information and resources. It is specifically designed for business-to-business communication and collaboration. This will be the best choice for Orion Ltd. as it will not only solve the problem of time-consuming communication but also provide a secure platform for confidential information exchange. Teleconferencing and videoconferencing are more suitable for real-time communication, while social networking is not secure enough for confidential business communication.
