Connectivity

Unigold’s network team was formed to specifically address the rapidly growing market for network solutions in the small to medium enterprise sector. To maintain a competitive edge small to medium size enterprises rely on increasingly sophisticated computer networks. To source, install, manage and maintain networks is a considerable drain on resources, especially where there is no existing IT function. We can help by providing a range of core services.

Where companies have an existing IT resource that does not cover network technology, we can work within the existing structure enhancing the quality and range of the IT resource. Our network team has MCP/MCSE and CNE certification, experience in NT and Novell networks, and a friendly but efficient manner.

Our specialists in IT networking can help you with networking two or more computers that may share files and folders, applications, or resources like printers, scanners, web-cams etc. As a part of our IT networking services, we can provide you with an internet connection too, which is also a type of IT network which connects all the computers of the world having Internet facility on them.
