The era of "sneaker-net" (moving files around on floppy disks) is long
gone! A simple network is easy to install and simple to maintain.
If you currently have multiple standalone
PCs in your office, the advantages to networking them are:
Increases
productivity and efficiency: Storing files in
a central location saves time and effort. Your employees don’t have to
figure out who is currently using a particular document, and they don’t have
to send out e-mails to request copies. With a server, you can access the
needed files immediately. You can also manage collaborative projects much
more efficiently. Whenever someone updates a file, the new information is
available instantly to the entire team.
Saves money:
The cost of completing specific tasks often decreases when a business
starts using a server. It simply takes less time to get the job done.
According to a survey published by Forbes.com, these savings pay for the
cost of the software, hardware, installation, and support, on average,
within five months.
Helps protect
customer information and business data:
Security is essential for any business connected to the internet. The
server comes with built-in features that help guard against unwanted
intruders. In addition, scheduled backups help protect your data in the
event of power failure or human error.
Lets you work on the
road: Remote access allows you to easily
connect to your server and the desktop computers connected to your server
from any computer with internet access. Whether you’re using a laptop on
the road or your home computer, you’ll have access to your e-mail, schedule
and files—exactly as if you were in the office. It’s easy to do and has
security built-in. (more)
Wide Area Networking
With today's business-to-business
connectivity requirements and many businesses having multiple locations, there
are many
benefits of having a "single network":
Use Electronic Data Interchange (EDI)
with your business partners to decrease turn-around time on orders and
increase accuracy.
Connect your multiple locations to a
single server and single internal e-mail server - without worrying about the
security issues of sending your data over the Internet.
Provide dial-up or dedicated access to
your internal network for your traveling sales force or executives of the
company.
Join the world of "Thin-Client
Computing" - you'll be amazed at the abilities of remote users with a
Citrix® or Microsoft Terminal Services solution.
Virtual Private Networking (or VPN)
offers a very cost-effective solution to connecting offices - reduce interconnection costs by using the Internet.
