Summary
"With Getting Your Business Wired, it's easy for you to set up an effective computer network. This practical guide was written with the non-technical manager in mind - so you don't have to be a techno-wizard to understand it. In fact, even the most avid techno-phobe will appreciate its crystal-clear explanations of complex technologies - and begin to feel more comfortable with the topic. Getting Your Business Wired helps you to understand why a network makes financial and strategic sense for a growing business, select a system that is cost-effective and adaptable for future growth, tame the Internet, and build the network and Internet connection so that it becomes an efficient part of a business rather than dominating one's every waking minute."--Jacket
