As small businesses multiply in capacity and geographical range, they usually find it complicated to make technology accessible to employees in all locations. On the other hand, today many are finding that by installing small-business servers, they are reaching more people in more places. They are also increasing efficiency, productivity and profitability while decreasing costs.
A small-business server can save any of a company's details, e-mail, calendars and images in one location, where employees can acquire them from computers that are connected to that server. Information on the server can be downloaded anywhere in the world.
One of the benefits of a small-business server is that it allows companies to increase communication efficiencies. For example, the mixture of calendar functions and e-mail capability allows executives to look at any employee's calendar, then send an e-mail meeting request that is automatically entered onto invitees' calendars.
Outside the office, employees can e-mail co-workers using hand-held gadgets such as cellular phones and personal digital assistants. Employees working in far places can also access their office computer remotely and use it as if they were at their desks.
For example, Atlanta-based CCM Homes LLC, almost new to computer technology, used 14 stand-alone computers to run its home-building operations. These computers helped streamline most of the company's business processes, but sharing data was difficult due to varying PC configurations and software. Also, a lack of centralized data affected the company's craft to correctly price its finished homes.
CCM Homes resolved these issues by installing Microsoft Windows Small Business Server 2003. Now, employees can hold a job from remote locations without depending on co-workers to hunt down data for them. In addition, security has upgraded, exchanging information has been changed, and the agency expects to save more money each year because of more precise budget forecasts.
