Network Server
These days you cannot manage without a dedicated network server. Businesses used to run fine with 'peer to peer' workgroup networks but that's no longer the way to organise if you want to co-operate. You need to centralise your filing system not spread it across multiple user's hard disks. You need an appropriate place to keep shared work and where it can be backed up safely. You need a machine that can manage print queues, logon security, user account settings and host your intranet, e-mail and database services.

Windows Small Business Server
For small to medium businesses, the Microsoft Windows Small Business Server 2000 is the ideal server operating system. It is not only a solid and reliable server platform but includes the key Microsoft BackOffice products, such as Microsoft Exchange Server, Microsoft SQL Server and Microsoft Internet Information Server.

Microsoft Exchange
If you want your staff to collaborate effectively then you need Microsoft Exchange. Not only do you get a powerful E-mail server but MS Exchange provides all the background 'plumbing' to enable the calendars, task lists, shared contacts and notes folders available in Microsoft Outlook.

Microsoft SQL Server
When you need to build a relational database, one of the most common and powerful engines around is Microsoft SQL Server. Small and simple single-user databases may work well using Microsoft Access but as soon as you need to scale up for multi-user access and speed, you'd be better off with MS SQL Server.

Microsoft Internet Information Server
Whether you're planning to host your own Worldwide Web site or build a company intranet, Internet Information Server is the web site engine of choice.

Roaming User Profiles
Your network server can be configured to store the all the settings and preferences associated with each user. This allows users to logon to any workstation in the office and their 'profile' of settings will be made available. This is great if you implement flexible desk working, job sharing or just want to economise on the number of PCs you provide.
