Computer network installation has become an essential prerequisite for any efficient modern-day business as it allows employees to truly work as a team by sharing information, accessing the same database and staying in touch constantly. For a computer network to give the best results, a lot of detailed planning and foresight is required before installation.

Firstly, an organisation needs to clearly define its requirements – how many people would use the network, how many would use it locally (within the office) and how many might require remote access (from a different location), how many computers and other devices (servers, printers, scanners) would be connected to the network, what are the needs of the various departments and who would be in charge of running/managing the network.

Does anyone remember the days when printers were simple? It was a pleasant time, with the possible exception being that printing a document involved sending a noise through the building that sounded much like a railroad train flying off its track. If you were a home user, then it was almost impossible to do this at night because it woke up the entire household. In a business it was possible, but it did a great job of disrupting the work environment. The good old days.Then there were the days of the scanner. Many people believed that this was a great invention, in fact few would argue against that viewpoint. It allowed documents to be instantaneously scanned into a computer for later viewing and even editing. This digitisation also meant that a person would be able to send their documents over long distances without needing to mail them.
