One of the greatest advantages of networking your computers together is that your users can share files and printers.
Important data stored on isolated PCs can easily be lost to burglars or drinks accidents.
Saving documents and data to a shared central server means that your precious business information is safeguarded by being automatically backed up to tape every night.
Sharing printers and central storage also means, for example, everyone in the Marketing department can get a definitive electronic version of a brochure from a central server and print it on the one expensive colour laser printer in the office. No more trying to copy documents to floppy disk and disturbing the person with the colour printer connected to his or her computer.
