Authentication on a server-based network is a highly critical concept; more so than many networking engineers acknowledge. Using one username and password for all computers on a network can help save money on licensing, but can leave your company wide open to be compromised in some way. Not only does properly implemented authentication provide a way for users to log in to their individual computer, but from a network standpoint it provides accountability, speeds troubleshooting, and allows individual user accounts to be disabled (terminations, leaves of absence) instead of having to change the username and password on all computers - ultimately reducing cost of ownership. Whatever the size of your business, we can design and install a server-client based system for your network to help increase productivity and secure your system from intruders.

Here are some examples of how central authentication can help your business:

• Allows for quick and easy access to user settings and system logs generated by logging in and out.
• Reduces the amount of time required to perform simple tasks. This is important when employees are paid hourly.
• The time to troubleshoot and resolve network issues is greatly reduced, as you can correlate the time of the problem to the user(s) logged in.
• Allows you to implement policy-based user access and to control operating system and application settings that are accessible to each user.
• Reduce the chance of user error causing system damage or failure resulting in repair costs.
