Intranets — Extranets

Intranets are information delivery systems that employ the use of Internet technology within an organization to access and transfer information across a company's network, whereas Extranets - generally found on the World Wide Web - are login areas that people both in and outside of your company can access.

Net technologies - inter - intra - extra - are essentially infrastructures rather than applications. Each involves the storage of information and programs on central computers, utilizing Internet browsers to launch and display applications.

Without question, the use of such technology has transformed business processes throughout the financial services industry.

Witness the explosive growth of extranet-related initiatives last year. 2003 will be a year of further growth and the pressure to build efficient and reliable Internet architectures has never been greater.

When does it all end?

Never. In fact, extranets not only continue to grow in size, they become the nerve center of everything the company does, from selling and managing products and services, to complete interaction with customers, suppliers and staff.

  With features that include secure document exchange, file management, transcription management and on-line accounting, forum participation - and growing!

So why go to all this trouble?

Simple. It's the same answer that drives the development of technology worldwide: better products and services, as well as a more effective way of enhancing an employee's knowledge and expertise - all at lower costs!

And it works.

Technology Know-How

The founders of Adjusters Asia were the first in our business to recognize the importance of technology - and to actually do something about it. In 1986 we launched an industry-first Wide Area Network (WAN) linking serveral offices to a common database for the exchange of information - all on a DOS/UNIX platform. In that same year, advanced time and file management software was developed, with this later becoming the standard for service industries worldwide.

Make no mistake about it: we are - and always will be - at the forefront of technology as it concerns the insurance industry.

Did you know?

Development offices for major technology companies can be found throughout the Asian region.

Why? The lowest development costs in the world!

Adjusters Asia was quick to recognize the importance of Asia in the development of new technologies - including those for Intranets and Extranets - and before embarking on its own strategy, consulted for emerging tech players throughout the region - from China to India - establishing an unparalleled network of technology professionals in all disciplines.

What We Do

The developers, database engineers and programmers at Adjusters Asia specialize in the development of web-based solutions and technologies - Intranets and Extranets - offering our clients unrivaled expertise in all commonly used relational databases, including MySQL, Oracle, Microsoft Access, SQL server and Lotus Notes/Domino.

Internet content is created using complete open source technologies: PHP scripting language (PHP [Parsed] Hypertext Preprocessor), MySQL (Structured Query Language) databases and Apache Web Servers on Linux or UNIX platforms.

Customer Relationship Management (e-CRM), data mining, document and knowledge management technologies are additional areas of our expertise.

Working closely with each of our clients, we identify your existing technology investments - including systems and databases - and how information is exchanged within your company or with your business partners and customers. With these findings in hand, we then design Internet, intranet and extranet solutions that add new functionality to existing systems, all with the goal of streamlining operations - and enhancing bottom-line results.

At Adjusters Asia, we don't buy advanced technology - we create it.
