There are a variety of ways in which your organisation could benefit
from installing a network, allowing the computers within your organisation
to communicate with each other or with external computers. Some
of these are:
Sharing of files and other resources – When
computers are networked (connected together) a user can open or
copy a file stored on another computer without the use of floppy
disks, USB keys etc. In this scenario security need not be a problem
as a password can be used to control who can access these files.
A network also enables the sharing of resources such as printers
and internet connections, meaning that less needs to be spent on
IT equipment.
Centralised security, storage, and administration
– To allow you to control system security and usage from a
centralised location and to provide automated backup of your data
a server could be installed. Each user of your system would have
a logon (user name and password) which can be used to ensure that
only authorised users can gain access to the server and the files
stored on it. A user can also have their own folder on the server
which is accessible only by them.
Improved communication – Installing a network
within your organisation allows email to be used for communication
within your organisation, enabling every user to have their own
email address.
