A standalone printer and a standalone computer are not really much good to anyone in a company. The printer can still process all that it needs to from a user that inputs data and it can then all be printed out to the printer that is connected to it, but that’s about as far as it goes. A company really starts to operate like a company as soon as these resources are all networked together. Then many users can print to the printer and not have to bottleneck everything around the one user.

What can be networked?
Networks can vary in size and application. Almost any piece of technology equipment can be networked. From printers and scanners, through to large PABX and phone management devices.
Not only is there significant value in networking all these pieces of technology from a user point of view. In others words, so that you don’t need to buy a printer and ink for each employee; but also from an ongoing cost saving and reporting view point. When all of your technology is networked together it is very simple to identify where there is scope to save even more cost. With a networked company each user is allocated an identifying code which they need to enter each time they use a specific piece of equipment on the network. This then allows you to track which employees are over utilizing the equipment and you can take the appropriate steps.
Maintenance issues.
When once piece of equipment has an issue, it does not mean that your entire network goes down. Westech Systems installs networks so that each piece of equipment is not dependent on another to work properly.
Maintenance can also be done proactively on a fully networked system. Triggers can alert the support team of pending issues which need to be dealt with before it crashes. This translates to there being more uptime on the network. Westech prides itself on being able to proactively offer network maintenance.
