The Midlands Business Journal Interviews Me About the Advantages and Challenges of Implementing a Business Network

Today I was contacted by the Midlands Business Journal to comment on a story regarding the implementation of networks in small business offices.

I was impressed that the interviewer wanted to explore the good and the evil of business networks. All to often business owners assume that having a network is better then not having one. In reality a business network is only really needed if there is more than one computer in the office that requires the use of a single printer or Internet connection.

In some cases, the liabilities of copyright infringement, improper Internet use and productivity losses to personal activities can negate any gains attained by implementing a network.

The story should be printed in a week or so, so don’t forget to pick up your copy!
