Synopsis

Small businesses can become big businesses with the aid of a computer network. With the right network in place, you'll have all the technology you'll need -- now and in the future. And when it's time for expansion and enhancement, upgrading your network can be a matter of plug and play instead of rip and replace.

Small Business Networking For Dummies can give you the edge that your small business needs to compete in a networked world. As author Glenn Weadock clearly explains, small-business networks are affordable, easy to manage, and (most importantly) easy to use. Select the system software and hardware that's right for you, put tried-and-true cost-saving techniques to use, streamline work processes, and improve the critical interactions between clients, vendors, and partners with the powerful features of a networked system. With Small Business Networking For Dummies in hand, you'll be able to design, build, and run an affordable network in no time at all.
