What are the Benefits of Networking?

There are several significant benefits associated with networking your office. A networked office saves valuable time and eliminates the frustration of searching for files on multiple workstations and floppy disks. A local area network will allow your office to share files that have been saved on another workstation or server. Networking also offers the convenience of having all company data backed up on a central storage device, protecting the man-hours required to create it. A network allows printer sharing which will provide significant cost savings since it will no longer be necessary to purchase printers for each workstation. Having a network will allow users to print to a shared printer. Interoffice communication will become much more efficient with a network. Messages will be exchanged much more quickly between employees. This includes phone messages, appointments, memos, and shared calendars. Multiple dialup connections to the internet will no longer be necessary. Your company will be able to maintain one high speed access account, which will not only decrease costs, but also increase productivity.

I Already Have A Network

If you already have a network, we can help you make it better. Laser Action Plus professionals are experts in optimizing and troubleshooting PC and Appletalk networks.

Security and Your Network

Laser Action Plus can provide solutions to help keep your network secure. Whether your needs call for a firewall, virus protection or both, we can install and configure the necessary components. Virus protection is a vital part of keeping a network secure. With that in mind, we can provide you with an enterprise virus protection solution such as InnoculateIT or Norton Antivirus Corporate Edition. The software is installed on both servers and clients and allows for automatic virus definition updates, a crucial part of effective virus protection. A firewall prevents people from deleting or changing files that can crash your network as well as protecting proprietary data. Laser Action Plus can provide both hardware and software based firewalls for your network security needs.
