I own a small business and I need a network solution?

Brandon questioned:
I own a small business that just started a marketing/sales campaign. We have two people working on sales. They open an “account” and then they list all the contact theyve had with them on the front of a piece of paper then on the back, list all the phone numbers and addresses. I need a free database program that they can both update from two computers on the same network.

all you need for your business in the way of spreadsheets and word processing.
Open Office is a excellent office suite, but it’s database is limited. Try using mysql controlled by php, you can install the Apache web server on one machine, anmd there are plentyh of free distributions which include the mysql/php combination. A huge advantage of this method is that it scales up very easily and can easily be transferred to a central server as you expand your business. This will allow you to access it from outside the office (client locations or at home), with excellent security, as the only external access required is the web browser port 80. Nearly all my clients are now using this method of work control, including some very complex production management, being controlled from an overseas location through the internet.
