    What is a SharePoint extranet?

    A SharePoint extranet enables secure collaboration with external partners, customers and suppliers via Azure Active Directory B2B – without VPN and without internal system access. CNEXT implements SharePoint extranet portals (partner, customer, supplier portals) for Swiss organisations that want to structure external collaboration securely and in compliance with Swiss DPA.

    0 VPN

    CNEXT Projektdaten

    Many Swiss companies still share documents with external partners via email – without version control, audit trail or expiry date. A SharePoint extranet solves this problem with minimal additional cost over the existing M365 licence.
