Important networking information for Mac OS X users
A network environment requires more attention than individual computers do; in most cases, setting up and maintaining a network goes beyond merely "hooking up" a few computers with cables. Similarly, network software such as AccountEdge requires more attention than other software. If your company doesn't have much experience working in a network environment, or if your computer and network responsibilities have always been performed "by committee," now might be a good time to consider designating one employee as your company's system administrator.
The basic duties of typical system administrators include installing network hardware and software, maintaining existing network systems and acting as the company's main resource for network-related questions. In addition, a system administrator often performs specific AccountEdge tasks, such as installing AccountEdge properly, backing up your company's vital financial data and setting up a password-security system. These important tasks play a large part in determining how well AccountEdge contributes to the success of your business.
These responsibilities may not require the full-time effort of an employee who is highly skilled in network issues, but they often require a person's immediate, knowledgeable attention. With this in mind, your system administrator may need additional training to fulfill the needs of your business. More information about networks can be obtained from a number of sources, including MYOB Certified Consultants, computer stores, bookstores and the Internet.
