Network Services
If your office has more than one computer and you need to share resources, a network may be just what you need to improve your efficiency. A properly built computer network allows businesses to share data, printers, calendars, contact databases or applications easily and automatically. This means every member of staff always has access to the very latest information either locally or remotely depending on the network configuration. Let The Hive Network handle the technology so that you can focus on what you do best: your business.
The Hive Network staff is highly experienced at designing computer networks to fit the needs of individual businesses and installing them with minimum disruption to work. Here's how we can help:
- Network Assessment: Our technicians will first meet with you to determine your needs. What are your frustrations with your existing system? What do you want to get out of your computers? If you are just starting up, what are your expectations? Once we hear your concerns, we can better understand your business and begin planning your solution.
- Network Design: After your consultation, we will perform a thorough evaluation of your company's computer infrastructure. We can then assist you in designing a network-computing infrastructure from the ground up or we can provide advice on upgrading your existing network. Our technicians are experts at installing, configuring, and securing both wired and wireless networks.
- Network Installation: After designing a suitable data network solution, The Hive will devise a thorough installation plan. An installation plan will take into account your organization's hours of operations and any other special needs you may have. Our relationship with top-tier hardware and software vendors ensures that we have access to the latest networking products at the lowest prices. Our team will ensure that these products are installed and configured correctly.
- Network Support: Network outages and security lapses can be devastating. The Hive Network offers a range of network support solutions including: On-site support to trouble-shoot and resolve hardware or software faults on your network; Periodical health check-ups for your network; and assistance with expanding or upgrading any part of your network.
