Small Businesses
As a small business, your network is crucial. A
peer-to-peer network may have served your needs initially, but chances are you
now need a client/server network:
Generally, it's time to upgrade to client/server network
when:
-
You have more than five computers.
-
You have a contact manager or other database
system that uses SQL Server.
-
You use customized business programs that require a
client/server environment.
-
You have a shared Internet connection for
your computers.
-
You need intra-office email in your office.
We'll help you determine your network needs by first assessing
your current systems. We'll then outline a program that would use the
installed components as much as possible to increase your efficiency and improve
the quality of the product that you and your staff produce, while keeping the
cost of these upgrades within your budget. Our recommendations take into
account your long-range needs as well as short-term plans.
