Before we integrate any networked home or office we would first determine the users requirements and develop a design to meet this specification.

For example it would be important to determine if the customer requires a server or just a peer-to-peer network.  Also we need to determine the type of network they require and the security involved on the system.

We would also consider if the customer requires remote access to their office through a Virtual Private Network (VPN), this would also determine how the network is set up.

A coherent network design will allow you to do the following: 
 

• Share a single fast Internet connection between several machines.
• Share a single printer in a convenient location – get the most from your printer by maximising its use between users rather than buying dedicated printers for each person
• Backup with ease between PC's on the network
• Share devices, and peripherals.
• Share files within the organisation – make sure that everyone is using the latest information.
• Networks are scalable and can grow to suit you.
• All Internet connections are protected by a firewall to protect from hackers.
• By creating one Internet connection rather than separate dial-up accounts, the whole network can then be protected by a firewall to protect from hackers at one point.

 

In addition to our cabling services, we can also provide you assistance in setting up your computers and peripherals to use this network effectively.  This includes settings up shared files and printers, remote access and security for the whole network.

No matter how big or small the network is, HIGS Solutions will be able to provide a practical and effective service that will improve the way that you and your company uses computers to increase productivity, reduce cost and save time.
 

With more people moving over to wireless, we at HIGS Solutions can help you make this smooth transition.

The main benefit of wireless is a clear working environment, free from cables.  This coupled with the ability to go anywhere within range of the wireless signal gives added freedom.

What people often forget is the security aspect of setting up a wireless network, this is where we can help and advise you on the steps you need to take for a secured network.
 

Some of the most common problems we receive are with Internet or email setup.  Most of the time our clients have ordered broadband but then get lost in the complicated instructions and equipment that they receive.

At HIGS Solutions we can provide assistance in setting up your Internet connection(s) and the setting up of your email accounts along with some basic training on how to use it.

In addition to our competitive rates, our friendly clear and concise approach will allow you to move your business forward using emails and the Internet.
