A secured as well as convenient system for information exchanging between enterprises using the Internet. An external server is divided into public Web server and a Web data management server, which connect to each other via a firewall. Data sent from browsers of outside users to the Web server are transferred to the Web data management server via the firewall. Thus, the firewall in the external server protects data supplied by outside users.
