“Sometimes we’re required to deliver
job function on time whenever & wherever (in the class at UITM +
Sunday morning pun boleh=).”
Technology is easing our jobs.
Even we’re not in working hours, not in the office even we’re in vacation. How?

In the Office = INTRANET
While in the office, we’re
connected through intranet device to communicate between organization members
(email, log on to system & etc.). It’s only limited access, using Internet web
protocol, software & server. As examples via company WIFI (if using authorizes
WIFI excess we can direct access to the system (SAP) or Microsoft Outlook Email)
or via LAN and WAN (to interlink/integrated information with nationwide
branches).
What if we’re not in the office? Can we connect
to the system? Can we access to email?
Answers:
Out from Office = EXTRANETS
Extranets (extended Intranet) allows
controlled access from outside of an organization's intranet. But we
need to have authorization to Virtual private network (VPN) is to link
Intranets in different location over Internet.
