| What
exactly is networking? |
Networking
is the business solution for providing a cost-effective
and efficient way to centralize commonly used
information. It's a strategic business tool
that enhances your business competitiveness
and profitability.
In simple terms, networking is the ability
to access shared information and peripheral
devices from a central location saving both
time and money. |

| How
will networking save my company time and money? |
|
It allows shared information to be accessible
at every workstation without getting up from
your desk, making information available instantly.
That helps reduce the cost of software and
provides instant distribution of company information
via communication products like E-Mail. Features
like calendaring, scheduling of appointments
and/or events, assigning tasks, and faxing
can all be done without leaving your desk.
Voice Mail and Remote Access allow for instant
communication and server access even when
you’re not in the office. Remote network
management allows for off-site monitoring
and repairing of the server or workstations,
often fixing problems before anyone even knows
there was a problem saving down time and money.
Networking software provides Web Server Access
to the Internet with state-of-the-art Internet
navigation and access to unlimited Internet
resources. |

| Is
it possible to design a networking system
especially for my companies needs? |
| Yes!
A Technology Assessment Profile (TAP) is conducted
and a Network Planning Guide (NPG) is designed.
The NPG optimizes the installation and use
of your system. Good planning will position
your company for long term growth. Your network
needs are as unique as you or your business
and should be designed with your specific
needs and goals in mind. |

| How
long will the installation of a networking
system take to complete? |
| Each
network is unique in size and installation
conditions. Based upon the size of your company's
network system, a written Implementation Schedule
is provided, along with a Scope of Work detailing
exactly what work is to be done in advance
of the actual installation and signed off
on when completed. |

| Will
my staff need any special training to manage
a networking system? |
| It
depends. One person, (a network administrator)
is normally given the on site responsibility
for maintaining the system. Standard training
for this person is usually included as part
of the system. Additional training is also
available to all employees. As an option,
the server can be managed off-site by Miami-Networking. |

given), and backed by the best warranties

Packard, Apple, Cisco and Xerox. |

| What
if there is a technical problem with my networking
system? |
| Each
system is supported by our own in-house technicians
who are also available for on-site service.
In addition to local support, each system
is backed by the technical support of the
largest suppliers and manufacturers in the
industry. |

| How
much does a networking system cost? |
| Each
network is unique, and the cost is never the
same. Therefore a written estimate is always
provided before any decision is made. Businesses
view a network as a strategic investment providing
a return of investment, not just another expense. |

| Can
the investment of a networking system be financed
or leased? |
| While
some companies pay cash, others choose to
take advantage of available financing or leasing
options. Miami
Networking can assist you in arranging
terms if you like. This may also be a good
time to consult with your tax advisor. |

| Should
I pay for a Network Blueprint? |
| Remember
that your Blueprint is to your computer network
as your 5 year business plan is to your business.
The better plan will always yield better results.
Many computer companies view the Blueprint
process as a way to sell equipment, not as
a document designed to help you build the
best network for today and the future. Using
our service frees up your personnel from constantly
shopping for product. Our purchasing power
can get you some of the best pricing in the
industry without the time consuming task of
searching for the "better deal".
