You started a business or have a business already in place and you have an office.. there are many things you need to consider when trying to setup a business environment. first of all if you business operate from home “1-3 users” so most likely “technology perspective” all what you need your computer, printer, internet, phone/mobile and you are all set, but this is not the case when it comes to commercial office and when you think in growing the business headcount you need to work smarter not harder, and more efficient.
so here what we really recommend, “below are in general talking, but all depends on what you really need and what your business is really for”:
1 – business class computers
2 – network cables / port in each desk and meeting room
3 – Wi-Fi and guest Wi-Fi
4 – network printer
5 – local hosted server in your business or cloud server
6 – services in your server like shared folders, backup, active directory, DNS, DHCP, print services
7 – business class router, switch and access point
8 – make sure you have a registered domain name for your business
9 – emails with your business domain name to look professional
10 – IP telephone system
11 – security cameras & surveillance systems
12 – preferred and nice to have a firewall server to filter your traffic from/to internet
13 – nice to have Wi-Fi/Bluetooth speakers
14 – UPS battery backup for your main technology systems
15 – routine maintenance and support, by a professional IT employee or a contractor like Apamea Tech CA 🙂
