Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The primary purpose of intranets and extranets is to automate and streamline the supply chain. Intranets are used to connect internal departments within an organization, while extranets are used to connect with external partners such as suppliers and vendors, to improve communication, collaboration, and efficiency in the supply chain process. While intranets and extranets may also be used for other purposes such as working remotely (D) or managing inventory (E), their primary purpose is to improve supply chain operations. They may indirectly lead to cost savings (C) by reducing manual processes and improving efficiency, but this is not their primary purpose. Interacting with the internet (A) is a feature of intranets and extranets, but not their primary purpose.
