"The Internet  has become a necessity for any modern business"

The Internet and Your Business:

As the demand for Business to be connected to the internet increases, the way companies connect to and make use of the internet is changing. Many businesses still connect using a dial-up service on an ISDN Line: the connection speed is relatively slow and often unreliable. Potentially important business may be lost.

With the evolution of internet technology, broadband connections, or ASDL as it is known, are now available almost nationwide, and offer a fast and cost effective way to develop a business that makes full use of the internet. All that is required to install a broadband connection is a standard analogue telephone line. The telephone line can still be used with an ordinary telephone, even while the broadband connection is 'always on'.

And with recent developments in broadband technology, the extra speed that broadband provides can be increased further by about a factor of 4, at little extra cost. This is around 40 times faster than the old dial-up way of connecting to the internet.

What Benefits does Broadband Offer?

Most businesses are now installing this service, as it allows the corporate network users a permanent connection to the internet 24/7 with a fast connection speed, allowing users to collect email, send documents and download information online at great speed.

In addition to the greater efficiency which high speed internet access provides, by freeing up staff time and providing more reliable internet connections, broadband also allows staff to connect securely to the company network from remote locations because, unlike with dial-up connections, broadband offers a permanent connection so that the company network and all relevant files are  present on the internet at all times. Provided this system is set up securely, and provided staff have use of a laptop, mobile phone or PDA, they can collect Email, and access information on the company server at all times from almost any location.  This offers a whole new perspective on the way business is done.

For example, Sales representatives or project managers out on the road can keep up to date with the latest pricing/ product information, and are able to offer quicker and more accurate quotations, etc. Office-based management can also  notify them instantly, by Email, of any important changes of plan.

In its most advanced from, this technology allows meetings to be held online, with video and audio links bringing together several geographically distinct offices or departments, even across international boundaries.
