Network Implementation and Maintenance

Networks are now found in all but the smallest of companies, with many households even operating their own network.

Networks enable file sharing, folders, applications and administration tools to be used across different machines, individuals and departments.  Concorde employs fully accredited Microsoft and Cisco engineers – they are well renowned as the experts in hardware and software - and can implement networking solutions and support for your office, whether you have six users or six hundred. 

As the demand for new applications has grown, so has the number of options for networks.  Along with file and document sharing, you can also improve your business with a quality network solution in some of the ways listed below: 

Home Working

The growth in people working from home means that it is increasingly necessary for files and data to be accessed securely from outside the office.  The solution for this is the VPN (Virtual Private Network) which enables users to ‘dial in’ from over the internet. 

Server-based Computing

A relatively new concept, server-based computing means that both tools and software can be stored centrally, and users can work across a broad network only using the tools that they actually need.  This solution reduces the cost of individual workstations, can reduce the licensing costs for software in many instances, and reduce the overall bandwith needed for network usage.

Wireless Networking

Wireless technologies allow your staff to work anywhere, either in your office or on the road.  It can add a great deal of flexibility, and also reduce office costs (such as office space).  It is a perfect solution for staff that are frequently out on the road such as salesmen.  There are security implications with this solution, so call us to discuss your requirements, and we’ll recommend a suitable and safe wireless solution. 

Document Management

If you are drowning in piles of paper, INVU document management tools can change this.  INVU allows everyone in your office to store paper and electronic archives electronically, and also gives them quick and easy access when they need them.  

All of these different tools have a top-quality network at their core.  Browse through some of the options available and also take a look through our security pages to get more helpful advice on installing and maintaining an office network.  Whether you already have a network setup, or your are thinking about installing or upgrading one, we’ll help you run it smoothly with our extensive range of support services, designed to suit all budgets.
