Do you need to expand your aging network? Maybe a complete redesign is a better long term answer. It's time to consider replacing PC's with laptops and a wireless infrastructure.
Most businesses are shifting to web based email such as Google Apps so their employees can work remotely. Access from smart phones and tablets is also becoming important.

|
Doing a detailed layout of your network beforehand will save you countless hours later on. With a little forethought you can be prepared for new and changing technologies. Building extra capacity into your network at the start is usually a very good idea. You probably won't use it all right away but applications and the technologies that support them, tend to get larger and more bandwidth intensive. Carrying voice and video over your existing data network can be a real money saver. If you're not already doing it, you probably will be down the road. So start planning now. You might not want to be the first to use a new technology, but being last is not an option! Call Ethernetworks today and let's talk about your networks future. |
Communications
Outdated Communications?
The ways we communicate seem to be growing exponentially. The analog telephone was good for over 100 years. Then the personal computer with Email became ubiquitous. After 10 years or so Email is already being superseded by Instant Messaging, PC Video Conferencing and free Telephony (Skype and other VOIP applications). It's a tough choice, embrace the new or keep the old tried and true methods. Not to worry, we're here to help.
Web Design
Is your website looking old?
Here are some things you should consider before deciding on a website design. Is the site for commercial or informational purposes? Who is my audience, always keep this in mind. Should the website be flash-y interactive with dynamic content or subdued and businesslike. Do I need to track my visitors, always a good idea and it's usually free.
Client Reviews
Our satisfied customers speak
Eric Fucci of Fucci & Friedman Inc; "We came in Monday morning and had no access to the internet. We called Ethernetworks and Len was here within the hour. Turned out there was a problem with the router. He reconfigured and secured the router and we were back up and selling insurance by lunchtime! It's important we have someone to call when there's an emergency. Good job!" Read more reviews.
