How important is your business network?

Not having a reliable network is costing you more than you think

If your business relies on a computer network for its daily operations, chances are if that network is not running right (or at all) you are losing money in more areas than you realize. Consider the following:

• How much are you paying each employee to sit idle while the network is down?
• How often is the network down in the course of a month?
• How much revenue is generated by applications or information stored on your server that is unavailable when the server is down?
• What impression do your client's get when you tell them you cannot help them right now because the network is down?

The cost for a 20 person firm could easily exceed $800 for an hour of downtime, and that does not include the cost of fixing the issue. Wouldn't it make the most sense to avoid as much downtime as possible instead of playing the odds and hoping your network just magically stays running 24 hours a day?

A properly maintained network will dramatically reduce downtime at your business.

A reliable network is just the beginning

Keeping your network running is critical but it does not really allow your business to have greater efficiency or capability. It is just the framework upon which to build the right solutions to help your business grow. Does your existing network allow...

• employees to work securely with your business applications anywhere they have an Internet connection?
• staff to quickly search through thousands of documents to find the exact one they need?
• branch offices to have the same applications at the same speeds as your main office?
• teamwork between staff and clients to share documents, collaborate on projects or keep up to date on developments instantly?
