It is rare that in today’s business world an office will consist of just one or two employees.  This makes networking so important to your companies IT services.  There are a number of benefits and savings that can be found when companies network their IT systems. From managing important company data to simply sharing interoffice communications securely computer system networking can benefit companies both large and small.
Importance of IT Networking
Manage Data Critical to the Organization
In an organization there are always key elements that need to be accessible to top personnel at all times.  A network server allows for an organization to safely store document on one central server instead of individual computers.  This help to keep the records organized and allows changes to me made in real time. This means that when the document is pulled up anywhere in the office the changes that were made will be up to date when they are viewed.
When networking is done correctly records on the server will be cataloged in a manner that only allows them to be accessed by those with permission. If one department does not have the same permissions the files they are not allowed to access will be password protected to avoid documentation ending up in the wrong hands.   Only information that is to be accessible to the company as a whole will be able to see what is not password protected.
It Simplifies Sharing Data
In order to share information to individual PC’s that are not networked files must be downloaded and uploaded to each individual system from the original source.  When an IT network is in place the process of sharing information becomes far less demanding.  Information is stored and accessed from one central server.  This sever communicates with each PC individually.  In order to share information all that has to be done is for access to be granted. There is no need to exchange files between devices using external storage devices.  This saves a lot of time and energy when working on projects as a team.
Flexibility in Accessing Information
Since the files are on a central server it doesn't make a difference what PC you are doing your work on.  You can work on a project from your personal computer at home or a PC at work.  No matter where you are working from the information will be shared to the server in real time and updated to allow individuals to see the latest information.
Shared Office Equipment
When computers in an organization are networked it allows them all to share one printer, one fax machine, and other necessary resources.  This is a whole lot cheaper than supplying a separate piece of machinery for each individual PC; thus saving time and money.
