Computers & Networks - Our History
Computers & Networks was founded in 1983 as "The Software Store,"
to bring big-business class products to small and medium businesses
using the technology revolution afforded by the IBM PC becoming
widely available. While word-processing, spreadsheets, accounting
applications and other innovations were important, we discovered
that sharing that information digitally was critical to business
success. We determined that Computers AND Networks were the answer,
and became one of the first integrators in the Southeast region
to offer a networked solution utilizing Novell Netware. We trained
our staff as Novell Certfied Netware Engineers, to provide Enterprise
level services to our growing customer base.
As the computer
industry expanded to encompass new technologies, Computers & Networks
expanded our business focus with them. Microsoft broadened its focus
from the desktop to the network, and we were among the first to
offer Microsoft Certified Professionals to assist our customers
in implementing the new technologies they needed. As networking
software and hardware systems evolved, we forged key relationships
with a select group of vendors providing the most reliable and stable
products. This was the second cornerstone to our philosophy, that
not only should information be shared, but that it must be consistently
and reliably available.
The internet
revolution of the early 1990's opened new frontiers in sharing information,
and also new potential threats to business. Computers have grown
from an electronic assistant to a critical component of daily operations.
Security of networked systems is no longer just a matter of preventing
unauthorized access, but protection from a broad base of hazards
that could bring company operations to a halt. Intrusion detection,
anti-virus solutions, email security, denial-of-service protection,
and disaster recovery are key issues facing our customers today.
Computers & Networks provides our expertise to secure the networked
workplace, and help ensure business continuity.
Many years have
passed since we started, the industry has changed, and information
is available today in ways we could only imagine in 1983. Throughout
the years, Computers & Networks has been at the forefront of bringing
proven solutions to our customers. We have grown and changed along
with the industry, and our continued success has been the result
of our focus on solving our customer's needs and ensuring their
satisfaction. Shared information, reliable and secure networks.
