Power Up Your Small-Medium Business: A Guide to Enabling Network Technologies (Network Business)
Robyn Aber Manufacturer: Cisco Press ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback Similar Items: ASIN: 1587051354 |
Book Description
A businessperson's guide to network technologies
Small-medium businesses (SMBs) cannot grow without finding more effective ways to streamline their processes, develop differentiated products and services, deliver them to the right customers, and work collaboratively with partners. Growth-directed SMBs must set themselves apart for success by adopting innovative yet proven tools to improve efficiencies, stimulate productivity, be more responsive to customers, and boost the bottom line. Network technologies can help do that and more.
The challenge is knowing where to begin.
Power Up Your Small-Medium Business: A Guide To Enabling Network Technologies addresses the need for clear, business-aware technical information. It explores the relevance and business value of network technologies and how to gauge what's right for your organization. The book also provides a high-level primer on network technologies in plain English. It defines the technologies and how they work in accessible language.
Beyond that, Power Up Your Small-Medium Business: A Guide to Enabling Network Technologies provides advice on proven network technologies as business enablers, arming you with the right questions to ask of yourself and your vendors when planning new or enhanced networks. With this book as an educational resource on networking, you will be better prepared to invest in network technologies and shape your own success.
This volume is in the Network Business Series offered by Cisco Press. Books in this series provide IT executives, decision makers, and networking professionals with pertinent information on today's most important technologies and business strategies.

Powerful Business Guide for Network Success.......2004-06-21
While there are hundreds of books for executives about management style, organization, profit/loss, people selection and marketing. This is the first easy-to-read, easy-to-understand book we've read that tells you how to use technology to streamline your business processes and use the dizzying array of previously mysterious technologies to monitor and control business processes, product/service development and reaching the right customers profitably.
Ms Aber has balanced her technical background at 3Com and Cisco with her practical SMB experience gained involved in a struggling start-up - OneWorld Systems - and modestly successful mid-sized firm - Novartis.
Power-Up Your Small-Medium Business is divided into four logical sections - the value of networking, network basics, advanced technologies and implementation considerations. The network basics section is probably very intriguing to people who tinker and tweak technology, for most business owners and managers we thought it was a lot like reading a book on how your car engine works - interesting but more than we wanted to know.
Because most SMB owners/mangers are more focused on results rather than the how-to, the first section - value of networking - is a good primer on the strategic aspects of the technologies. Forget about having to take a computer science course on how network technologies do whatever they do. Whether you sit at the desk where the buck stops or have to make recommendations that will help your area of responsibility - engineering, manufacturing, logistics, marketing or sales - Ms Aber explores why business people need to use the technology in dollar and cents as well as real business terms.
Since we know enough about the technologies to be dangerous, we skipped to the fourth implementation section because this is where most sales and technical people seem to throw up all the smokes and mirrors as to what they are going to do for you. Again using words that real people can understand she lays out a variety of application scenarios that small - medium business managers can consider.
Her approach is to give you a set of basic to full-blown technology recommendations you can use depending upon your budget. More importantly, unlike most technologists who fall in love with and design/implement a closed-loop solution for you she outlines some technology growth plans you can use.
As a result you don't have to commit to solution A, B, C, D or E but can buy off on solution A/B and have a plan on how you can get to E as your company grows. In addition and equally important she gives the reader an insight into the technologies you may want to consider - wireless everywhere, video-enablement and electronic business-to-business or business-to-consumer - that firms may possibly use to give them a competitive edge in their markets.
Just by reading these two sections a business manager or unit manager has the tools he or she needs to hire someone - internally or externally - to carry out the company's network-powered program.
The reader is well armed with information to know what questions to ask, what to expect, and how to use the technologies once the company has them in place.
The middle sections are really reference chapters. Want to know networking basics? Ms. Aber lays out the areas - computer networks, switching/routing, security, intranet/extranet and virtual networks - so you can understand the concepts. Again she delivers enough information you can actually understand so you know when people are making recommendations that will benefit your company or their profit.
The advanced technology or "gee whiz" section is fun to read. She actually makes it easy for you to understand what is here now and on the horizon that can be used to give you an edge over the guy down the street, across the country or half-way around the globe. It is pretty obvious that Ms Aber thoroughly understands her technologies because she explains them so well that whether you have an accounting, marketing or MBA degree you can do a little dreaming and imagine how the technologies can be used in your organization or by others in your marketplace.
Ms Aber's writing makes dry and dull disarmingly easy to understand.
Whether you head a small-medium size company or are a business unit manager, Power Up Your Small-Medium Business is a good primer and working tool to understand what is out there and available to you as well as what it can do for your company's bottomline.
If you are in one of the ten million 100-1,000 employee firms that have an IT department the book will help you understand what your people are recommending to you, and whether you believe the recommendations will help you reach your goals.
If you are like us and in the majority of American business - 20 - 100 employees - where a network manager has to wear two or three hats, the book becomes even more valuable. Most of us outsource the network technology implementation and have a service person on call...just in case. Ms. Aber gives the business owner the power to understand what the technologies are, what they are going to be and how we can use them to our advantage.
Finally the biggest segment of American business has a roadmap they can read - and understand - about the mysterious field of network technologies that focus on discussing them in business terms, not techie terms.

still valuable, if a bit dated.......2003-04-01
Part One, The Information Business, defines the market for information and the role and requirements of a professional information broker. Part Two, Fundamental Tools and Techniques, is a user-friendly guide to library, government and public records resources. These two sections are still quite useful, though obviouisly incomplete. Part Three, Electronic Options and Alternatives, is outdated, addressing no World Wide Web resources at all, though it does cover online special interest groups (SIGs) and bulletin boards (BBSs) well. Part Four, The Business Side of Information Brokering, is quite valuable and deals with completing a project, marketing, sales, pricing, contracts and billing.
Appendices cover essential resources (books, software and magazines), vendors, conferences, associations and seminars. An accompanying 3-1/2-inch floppy disk contains the appendices as well as electronic forms and letters, and a sample report. Stylistically, this disc is like a fine black & white movie. ASCII text files ensure accessibility by multiple platforms, and elegant but casual writing combined with beautifully-formatted text is information rich. If you buy this book used, make sure you get the disk too.
In short, while some of the content is quite outdated, this book and disk would still prove invaluable for someone who is interested in becoming an information professional. Rich in content, accessible in style.
