Answer 1

I recommend Bizcom to install an extranet, to enable quick collaboration over the Internet, minimize the time spent communicating with the client, and minimize the amount of paperwork needed.

Explanation:

Extranet is a kind of private network that helps organizations to exchange the information securely over Internet. The extranet can be used by vendors, suppliers and authorized set of customers to enable communication.

Internet helps in enabling quick collaboration and also reduces the paperwork. As all the information can be confidentially shared and stored using the Internet, the use of paper can be reduced. The time spent for communicating with the client can also be reduced.

In the above scenario, Bizcom has its consultants from various places. It is difficult to travel to every place and organize meeting. So installing an extranet can help them in keeping connected.
