The first complete business and technical guide to extranet deployment!
In Extranets: Building the Business-to-Business Web, extranet consultant Deborah Bayles walks you through every step of planning and deploying secure, high-performance extranets that maximize business opportunities with strategic partners, vendors, and customers.
Using a software development lifecycle approach, you'll start by reviewing extranet components and architecture; performing a needs analysis to identify the most pressing problems your extranet can solve; and analyzing extranet ROI- thoroughly evaluating "hard" and "soft" benefits, costs, and risks. Next, you'll walk step-by-step through implementation, from evaluating bandwidth requirements to organizing site content, prototyping, testing, and rollout.
This book tells you how to:
* Build a global virtual team that includes all your extranet partners
* Respond to the unique security challenges of extranets
* Manage and tune your extranet on an ongoing basis
* Automate version control and software configuration management
* Select the best options for measuring and maximizing performance
* Extend your extranet for electronic commerce: the role of EDI, SET, and e-commerce servers
Bayles presents detailed coverage of building extranets in global business environments, showing how to hire localization agencies, use translation tools, and handle global e-mail. She also offers practical insight on integrating corporate databases and legacy resources, covering gateways, middleware, and other alternatives. Whether you're already deploying an extranet-or just thinking about it-you will benefit from Deborah Bayles' extraordinary insight and expertise.
The accompanying CD-ROM includes comprehensive extranet planning and design templates as well as trial versions of Starbase's StarTeam 2.1 version control software, GlobalLink's Power Translator Pro translation software, VSI-FAX 3.2 web fax software, and freeware versions of NETouch's RatPack security monitoring tools.
DEBORAH L. BAYLES has been in the software industry since 1979 in marketing and technical management and consulting roles for Fortune 500 companies. In 1994 she founded and is a principal of NETouch Communications, Inc., a systems integration and consulting company specializing in developing extranets. The firm recently introduced MIRRORS.NET, a global extranet mirroring and caching technology.

This review is from: Extranets: Building the Business-To-Business Web with CDROM (Paperback)
The checklists alone are well worth getting the book. The author takes the proven, intuitive process of software development and uses it as a template for building an extranet. A must read for anyone involved in online commerce. I've already given many copies to clients who have used the book for their businesses.
