Did you ever wonder if a computer.network would improve your office's operations? Unfortunately, answers to computer connectivity prob lems are not easy to find. Clinton Computer has recognized these connectiv ity problems and has created a Systems Integration Group that works directly with corporate and government accounts on their networking needs. The Systems Integration Group is trained and experienced in the networking of microcomputers along with connections to both minicomputers and mainframes. If you are interested in connections between your DEC VAX system and Macintosh computers, Clinton Computer's Systems Integration Group can help you. Want to share Macintosh files without swapping diskettes? Is your network too slow? Does your network need to extend to other buildings? Is data security a problem? Let someone from Systems Integration explain and demonstrate some of the many products that can help you solve these and other problems. The "Complete" Network A network does not just consist of two computers wired together. There is a lot more to a "Complete" network than meets the eye. Clinton Computer is well prepared to assist you. Whether you are purchasing your first network or simply adding to an existing one, Clinton Computer's Systems Integration Group does notjust leave you with boxes ofcomputers. We work closely with local cabling contractors so your cables are pulled correctly. Once the cables are in place, Clinton Computer's trained installers will connect each machine into your network. Of course, all machines can be fully set-up for tum key operation. Clinton Computer is dedicated to a hands-on approach to computer education. At your request, Systems Integration can train you at your site or in any one of our three classrooms. In most cases. the course will be custom-tailored to fit your particular networking needs. Finally, a network that is not working all of the time is not a "Complete" network. That is why Clinton has one of the largest support departments in the area, in addition to the Systems Integration Group. Whether you have a hardware or a software problem, we are prepared to solve it. We have a team of manufacturer-authorized service technicians who can service your machine. For your networking needs, call Clinton Computer today at 599-9555!
