Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An extranet is a private network that allows access to some authorized external parties, such as suppliers or customers. In this case, Glen's firm uses an extranet to stay in touch and manage its production with Nike in Canada, which needs constant updates on its order. SCMs (Supply Chain Management) focuses on coordinating and optimizing processes across different organizations, such as Glen's and Nike's, including the flow of goods and services, which could be related, but not entirely fit into the situation. CRM (Customer Relationship Management) and intranet not allows collaboration and information sharing outside of the system to external parties.
