Think of a typical example, that of your email system. Email for the most part is a godsend for all of us. However according to a new report out from independent research company Nucleus Research Inc. Unsolicited commercial ("spam") e-mail costs U.S. companies US$874 per employee per year in lost productivity, and it's growing every year. Spam is just one of the productivity sapping issues that workers have to deal with today.

Making Sure that Your Network is Setup to Right

The fact is that a lot of the issues that effect productivity in a business environment come from one of two areas:
1) the network not being set up to ensure maximum productivity.
2) Users not being provided with the tools they need to do their jobs effectively.

Below is a list of items that you can use to check that you are getting the best from your network and your users.

Ensure that unwanted programs, email and content don't make their way onto your network.

Spam, Viruses and Porn - just three of the things that you don't want on your business network. These three items account for a large part of lost time on every network. Make sure that your network has a firewall in place to stop these items from coming into your network. Make sure that your virus software is up to date, has the latest virus definitions and is running on every PC on your network.
Simple updates to your network will make sure that your users cannot download (or see unwanted) graphics in their Internet browsers or email.

Make sure that your drivers are up to date on your servers and workstations.

This is probably the one where most businesses get left behind. Driver updates and patches are coming out at a furious rate. Having an old driver can make your PC or notebook unstable and prone to lock ups, this can be compounded if you load an updated service pack onto your machine. There are a number of solutions to make sure that your workstations are up to date.

Make sure that you have a disaster recovery plan in place and that it is tested regularly

The old axiom is right... you can never have too many backups. Lost data or a corrupted database on your applications or email server can really sap your users' productivity. Most people expect their email system to be operating 100% of the time and to be more reliable than their phone system.

So plan for what you are going to do if you lose your business critical applications and then, test that your backup plan works.

Having any sort of backup plan is better than nothing, but one that you know will work, can give you real peace of mind.

Provide your people the tools they need to do their job

Don't just use your PC's as glorified typewriters. Make sure that you spend the time to try and automate your business systems. Nothing will make your business more productive than implementing effective systems to help your people get their work done.

What sort of systems can be used? Finance and administration? yep. Running off your daily reports without user intervention? Yes. Customer Management. Sure! A system to automate writing your client proposals? You bet!

These are just some of the examples of what you can do. Just think of the frustrations that you have in your business, most issues can be solved with a system. We even have a system to help you solve your business frustrations, with a system!

So great productivity gains are possible using your computer network, but it requires careful planning and some work, and the results really are worth it in the end!
