Comparing Extranet performance - October 2010
For years now all of us Project Extranet providers have used statistics to support the proposition that our applications are extremely useful and beneficial to a project and its client.

As these figures have all been selected to highlight the desired results they are all slightly different, therefore incompatible with each other when it comes to making comparisons between the systems. Reliable, objective comparisons are notoriously hard to calculate.
