Small Business Technologies

Small to Medium size businesses suffer from the misconception that they cannot afford the technology to function like a large corporation because they do not have the funds available to purchase the software and hardware that large companies take for granted. Some of these services can be rendered for far less money than you would think. Lets go over these services.

1. Firewall/VPN

2. Email Server

3. HelpDesk/trouble management System

4. Website or Internet Presence (one that a human can manage no IT Dept. required)

5. Phone system(PBX)

6. Fax Server/Gateway

7. Document Management and Revision Control

8. File Storage/Sharing 

Your probably already sweating at what all of the above will cost you in Hardware and Software alone not even counting paying someone to set it all up for you. Now lets set your mind at ease all of the software above can be downloaded and installed with little configuration for free! As for the hardware required most of the applications we will be looking at have a very minor hardware requirement as you will see.
