Most business owners would rather run their business than tinker with technology. That's why you need a reliable system in place that improves productivity, streamlines business processes, and ultimately translates into improving your bottom line.

If you're running a small business, you probably started with a peer-to-peer network to connect your PCs — if you're networked at all. But a professional-grade network does far more than share files and a printer: it allows you to break down the barriers to communication, safely opens your business up to the opportunities of the Internet, and gives you and your staff secure access to your business information any time, anywhere — at the office, at home, or from any remote location.

It's the foundation for doing business today and for years to come. Our local Novell partners are ready to install that network for you: a free small business suite for a limited number of users. Just find a partner near you — they can install your network in no time. All you pay for is the installation — saving you time to focus on your business.

If you knew what a professional-grade network could do for your business, you would know what you're missing out on today. Let your local Novell partner show you what building your business on Novell's full-service network foundation can do for you:

• Share everything without having to wait for computing cycles to become available to you: files, applications, printers, devices, and even Internet connections.
• Make it easier to work together: email, scheduling, calendaring, document management, online day-timer tasks and more make it easy to organize your business and communicate effectively with staff, customers, business partners, and distributors.
• Go where your business takes you: With a wireless cell phone, your PDA, or any standard Web browser. You don't have to be in the office to keep in touch or even keep working; you can access a full range of collaboration services and many networking services at any time, from anywhere.
• Take control of Internet access: Block inappropriate Web content and ensure that Web access is "strictly business".
• Offer services you couldn't offer before: Easily establish a Web presence with your own Web server to offer online services that make your business more accessible.
