A properly configured office network can be a great savings for your business' productivity, but for many owners, this is a resource that is completely untapped!  A major problem is that, often, owners don’t see the financial benefit of such an investment.  Read more to find out why this is important to your bottom line.

When done properly, networking computers and equipment can put money in your pocket by improving a number of commonly problematic areas.  CCS realizes that our job, in providing services to our clients, is to save you money - here is how we will do this for you:

• Servers Installation/Management– expertly trained staff will configure your server to provide services to your network providing any number of services to enhance your productivity. Some include:
  • File & Printer Sharing – Centralize your files and printers for better organization, your benefits include less man-hours spent on Re-Production, faster retrieval of existing work, centralized backups and lower hardware costs by consolidating printing, faxing and even scanning. The result is lower supplies costs and a standard work environment from any workstation in you office.
  • Data Organization – With centralized filing, you will need a well organized system in order to maintain a smooth data flow – and thus – a smooth work flow. We can re-organize your data so that everyone who is entitled to access, will know where the file will be. As part of our organizational standard, we also enable security in order to disable unauthorized access to any files.
  • Network Security – With a server in your office, you can have centralized security – giving each user a single username & password than can give him access to files or workstation at your discretion.
    
    
• Workstations service – This is where your staff performs much of their daily workload, so it must be performing within a reasonable range of optimization – or you will be loosing money.

E.g.: 5 minutes lost time spent waiting for a computer to “be ready” per hour equals 3 hours and 20 minutes by the end of the week –PER PC… How many PCs do you own?

• Network Connectivity – Loosing this is a common networking problem which causes many office productivity slowdowns.  Networking connectivity problems are one of the specialties of CCS. We can quickly test the equipment and determine a cost-effective fix that will restore your network’s productivity - or add new network service to add disparate workstations and/or printers into a new or existing network.
  
  
• Printers – Networked printers are a key component in a smoothly running office. They allow an office to function on just one (or two - recommended for redundancy) printers and enable consolidation of maintenance, supplies and hardware lease agreements. Overall, they are a great money saver.
  
  
• Routers – These can allow you to:
  • share a single Internet connection while providing “hardware” firewall protection to your entire network.  This is highly recommended for protecting an office network, even if all computers run personal (or software) firewalls.
  • connect multiple offices for securely sharing data via already existing Internet service connections
  • enable remote locations to access a specialized application or files/printers in your local office in a seamless manner.

CCS is expert in all of the above areas. Contact us for more information on either getting a network installed or getting your existing network to start working for you.
