German term
Extranet
German to English
Tech/Engineering
IT (Information Technology)
Networks
I'm afraid there's no context as this term is taken from an organisation chart. I understand what Etranet means in this case: it's the internal company network. Is this the same as an intranet? And if so, who the hell came up with the term 'Extranet'.
