In the past decade, the office computer network or LAN has become the backbone of all office operations. While the ‘80s saw the primacy of the PC on individual desktops, the 90’s saw the primacy of the LAN over the entire office.

Unfortunately, most businesses did not create their LAN based a sweeping overview, but rather it was created in a piecemeal fashion, based on idiosyncratic needs and outdated technological hype. The incredibly rapid obsolescence of computer technology didn’t help either.

One would be surprised of how many organizations we visited where it was the case of the obsolete tail wagging the technological dog. We had to have all the new PCs accommodate some old DOS accounting program or some ancient dot matrix line printer. In one accounting department office the client went to the additional expense of having all of the staff hooked up with KVM switches and dual Ethernet ports that allowed them to switch at their desktops from their old DOS/Novel computers to their new SQL/Windows 2000 PCs. We ran both old and new networks in parallel for months until the staff was completely weened away from their old network.
