These days its hard to find a company that doesn't rely on a computer in some shape or form, this is because computers allow us to automate certain business processes, which saves time, and money. However, when a business introduces computer systems they are faced with new complications, expenses and threats. With out having the technical expertise, companies may not be aware of these issues let alone how to deal with them, nor have the ability to make the best use of their I.T. investment.
Why Network?The most obvious benefit of computer networking is that you can store virtually any kind of information at, and retrieve it from, a central location on the network as well as access it from any connected computer. Along with sharing data you can share hardware resources such as printers and connections to the internet. This saves time & hardware as staff do not manually transfer files from one computer to another, nor does each computer need to have its own printer.
What are the risks?With the introduction of “always on†internet connections, networks are left exposed to a variety of external threats, some of these include spy ware, viruses & hackers. These threats can costs businesses a lot of money if they are not dealt with correctly. Hackers can steal potentially confidential information, viruses & spy ware can stop computer systems functioning and waste employees time whilst they try to combat the problem or wait as the system takes longer to perform the necessary tasks. With out the necessary security restrictions, networks may enable some employees to have access to data that should not be made available to them.
