Using Computer Networking and the Internet to Grow Your Business, William E. Kilmer

From Booklist Many, if not most, small businesses now use a computer to perform at least one or two basic functions. Kilmer shows why these companies should now consider an upgrade. This is not a technical manual but, rather, a straightforward and clear explanation of the ways small businesses can use computer networks to their advantage. He carefully delineates the benefits of each application he proposes. Kilmer first details local and wide-area networks; he covers networking standards, outlines the components of a basic network, and considers the need for a network server. Nearly half of his book is devoted to ways small businesses can use the Internet to communicate, conduct research, reach new markets, and sell products. Kilmer advises on how to evaluate vendors and service providers, and he discusses planning, budgeting, training, equipment, and security needs. A helpful glossary and Kilmer's logical, step-by-step approach and jargon-free presentation will make this book attractive to those who might otherwise be intimidated by a hard-sell or a too-technical pitch.
