Business Systems and Networks

Technology has become a necessity in operation and growth of the small and medium business. The increase in the volume and complexity of the technology has forced the smaller and medium sized business to become more technical savvy. Some businesses will outsource this technical need and other businesses will invest in technical expertise on staff. Catalyst Solutions works hand-in-hand with each of these approaches. Our goal is to support your business technically so that you become more successful. Catalyst does that by determining the appropriate amount of support and providing it in a cost effective manner. Areas that need to be addressed in a good technology plan include:

• Servers - The server is the heart of the network. Typical applications that the server will provide include file sharing, print sharing, e-mail and groupware, database management, central virus control and as a central resource for storing and backing up files.
