Connectivity

Recently there has been much noise about Broadband, ICT and e-business and the benefits that it can bring to your company. The obvious starting point for any ICT or e-business development is by connecting your business to the Internet using Broadband. However, the integration of Broadband into your existing infrastructure requires understanding, thought and good project management.

So why consider Broadband? Well besides fast web access and rapid e-mail delivery there are multiple benefits – and quite often it’s even cheaper to run than ISDN or dial up.

But what other benefits can Broadband offer? In the past connectivity of two separate sites could only be achieved through either dial up connection or point-to-point leased line. Both of these methods proved cumbersome and costly. You can now connect the same two sites to the Internet permanently with Broadband for a fixed monthly charge. The connection speed (bandwidth) can be varied depending on the amount of data to be sent and received. You can then implement a VPN (Virtual Private Network) which uses the Internet to connect the two sites together securely through a private encrypted tunnel. You can also use the same system for home/remote workers.

However, the integration of Broadband and ICT (Information and Communication Technology) into existing systems raises many questions. How do I integrate it to my existing systems? How can I maximise the potential that these technologies will bring to the business? What are the security issues that are raised?
