The Benefits of Networking
Networking the computers in your office can save you time, money, and hours
of frustration, while providing you with increased productivity, greater
communication, higher security, and peace of mind. It doesn't matter what
size your company is. A network can be as beneficial to a small company with
two employees as to a large company with two hundred.
Sharing
Networked computers can share resources... files, databases,
printers, modems, scanners, or any other peripheral. Sharing files and
databases decreases data entry time, while simultaneously increasing data
input accuracy and productivity. Text files can be shared and re-used in
other documents. Logos and custom headers can be copied from one document to
another, creating a unified corporate appearance throughout your entire
office. Networking increases productivity.
Communicating
Electronic mail running on a network gives your employees a
quick and easy way to communicate with everyone in the office... with the
click of a button! No more inter-office memos to be typed up, printed, and
distributed to mail boxes where they'll sit until they're noticed. E-mail is
instantaneous. Using e-mail, your employees can also reach out into the
Internet, exchanging correspondence with customers, clients, suppliers, and
co-workers in far-flung locations. Networking helps you communicate.
Saving money
Through the magic of networking, an entire office can access a
single printer. Two or more employees, with no modems of their own, can send
e-mail through the Internet. A tape or Jazz drive can back up files on every
computer in the room. A single scanner can process documents and graphics
for everyone, transferring the scanned files to the appropriate computer.
This means you only need one printer, one modem, one backup drive, and one
scanner! Networking saves big on your hardware budget.
