Presenter:

Sage Solutions Group -- Primary presenter was Peter von Elling, who is Sage's Senior Producer, Design/Multimedia. Peter was accompanied by Karin Magness who is Sage's Director of Marketing.

Description: Peter and Karin answered the questions:

What is an Extranet? How do I use one? And what is the benefit?

An extranet is a private piece of the Internet that can be used to securely share firm information with clients, consultants and co-counsel. Extranets work best as online repositories for documents of all types, schedules, tasks, contacts, web links and more. Since they are web-based, extranets are available from anywhere you can connect to the Internet, 24/7, 365 days a year, from any computer with a web browser.

The benefits of a firm having an extranet, or in some cases extranets, include:

* One secure repository for documents and information available from practically anywhere 24/7/365.

* Share documents, calendars, contacts and more with clients, consultants, co-counsel, etc.

* Collaborate more efficiently and productively

* Reduce paper costs for faxing, storage, duplication

* Manage both internal and external projects more efficiently
