Bitrix Intranet Portal Extranet Edition serves as a secure platform for effective communications with the ‘outside world'.
Users invited to the extranet but who are not are not employees of the company receive limited access rights ONLY to the extranet—without the capacity to view information on the internal part of the portal. Company employees can also be invited into workgroups in the extranet and create direct discussions in groups (in forums and blogs), plan activities on a shared calendar, set tasks and monitor their progress, publish reports, etc. Contacts need only to have an email invitation to the Extranet and a supported browser; for employees, the transition to the extranet from the portal does not require authorization – there is an Extranet button on in the main menu options.
The advantage of the Extranet, as neutral territory, is that it is a resource that works on the same principles as the Internet. Thus, there is no need to retrain employees, or contacts, for the new method of communication. Contacts need only to have an invitation to the Extranet and a supported browser, and for employees, the transition to the extranet from the portal does not require authorization – pressing the Extranet button is sufficient. The extranet provides the company many opportunities to lower costs of client support and makes working with partners more convenient in a controlled work setting, specially made for cooperation.
Bitrix Intranet Portal: Enterprise Edition
| Bitrix Intranet Portal: Enterprise Edition can integrate your corporate portal with an external website. Automate business processes and supervise their progress through each stage and as responsibility shifts from one employee or department to another.
Use the included standard business process templates or create your own. You can build new processes (and templates) using the visual business process designer and manage the most wide-ranging of business processes. Organize and supervise collaboration across departments or workgroups with the progress monitor element. Work inside the company becomes smoother, more manageable, and more efficient! This edition includes 30 modules. |
This edition includes a visual editor for creating and modifying standard buiness process templates.
Bitrix Intranet Portal: Enterprise Edition Features
The Enterprise edition includes all the functions of the Office and Extranet editions. The Extranet module allows effective work with ‘outside' users in a secure space that is separated from the corporate portal—essentially, this lets you work with close contacts using the convenient features of the portal without any security risks.
| Automation of business processes
Standard templates of business processes
Visual designer for custom business processes and templates
Organization of collaboration using business processes
Progress monitor element for supervising stages of business processes
Managing tasks and assignments
and much more |
Bitrix Intranet Portal Enterprise Edition serves to automate workflow and dataflow processes.
Business process management
Manage business process from the simplest to the most complex: publishing news on the portal, fulfilling orders, collaboration with the partner network or clients. Use the existing templates or create your own.
Standard business processes
Use the standard business process templates which come with all editions of Bitrix Intranet Portal, to get all the routine processes which require approvals or confirmation under control. For example, you can easily ensure that employees are familiar with a new policy or regulation, form a committee to create an action plan for compliance to it, and monitor the progress of the implementation of that plan.
Collaboration
You can include the progress monitor element in a new business process to supervise the progress of its fulfillment. Organize collaboration on a project, and subject each major step of the project to approval by some or all of the participants. In this way, participants of the project do not need to gather together physically in a conference room for major stages to be approved or for the project to advance.
Conclusion
Business processes is a universal tool which can be applied in all manner of scenarios. This simple and convenient mechanism will assist you greatly in managing the numerous processes which are constantly in motion in your company, giving you a full view of their execution through the Portal. This new module allows you to work with practically any type of information accessible in the Portal. For example, set up all tasks in the Portal to be managed in Business Processes – assigning and supervising suddenly becomes much more flexible. This, in turn, increases efficiency in workgroups.

Why would I need unlimited users?
You should concider this option if you plan to create more than 475 user accounts for your Intranet Portal. To be more precise, if you need
- more than 475 user licenses for Bitrix Intranet Portal: Office Edition
- more than 525 user licenses for Bitrix Intranet Portal: Extranet Edition
- more than 558 user licenses for Bitrix Intranet Portal: Enterprise Edition
Let's do the math!
Example:A medium-sized company that has 480 employees wants to set up an Intranet for its personnel using the Bitrix Intranet Portal: Office Edition. Below are the costs:
- Product cost = USD 1 499
- Users already included = 25
- Additional users needed = 455 (i.e. 480-25=455)
- Additional users cost = 455*30 = USD 13 650
- TTL costs = 1 499 + 13 650 = USD 15 149
That means that your total costs would be USD 15 149, unless you take advantage of the "Bitrix Intranet Portal: Office Edition" with unlimited users license for USD 15 000.
