What are the advantages of having an extranet?

Accessible any time from any Internet connection, extranets are a convenient way of sharing the latest information of each Deacons instruction with contacts throughout the world. This information - which is updated on a real time basis - helps you manage and co-ordinate your legal issues.

Are Deacons extranets secure?

Security and privacy are essential when accessing sensitive information online. Deacons' extranet uses the latest 128-bit technology to keep your information confidential and blocked from unauthorised users.  This includes:

• the latest end-to-end encryption technology ensuring security for all information and documents;
  

• last log in date and time will be displayed on your personal home page for peace of mind;
  

• client authentication process requires users to enter a password (which will change regularly) before receiving authorisation to access the extranet; and
  

• auto-disconnect will prevent unauthorised access from an unattended computer. Your session will automatically be terminated if the browser is left idle.

What technical issues do I need to address?

All you need is a computer running Windows 95/98/NT/2000 with netscape Communicator 4.6 or above or Microsoft Internet Explorere 4.0 or above or Netscape Navigator 4.06 or above.
