| Cost-Effective
Networks through Resource Sharing
Networking
your business computers can reduce the amount of money you
spend on hardware by sharing components and peripherals. You
can also reduce the amount of time you spend managing your
computer system.
Equipment sharing
is extremely beneficial: when users share resources, companies
can buy hardware/software with features that they would not
otherwise be able to afford, as well as utilize the full potential
of that equipment on their network. A properly designed network
can result in both lower hardware/software costs and increased
productivity.
Finally, you
will also be able to reduce your administrative overhead. On
a computer network, updates to software, changes in user information,
and network security can all be accomplished from one location.
With standalone computers you would be required to make these
updates on each individual computer workstation.
