Maximized Asset Utilization as a Force Multiplier USB to Ethernet from Eltima

Running a modern small business is challenging in many respects. Often there is a need to effectively link remote offices or locations, or multiple floors in the same building. What is required is a way to maximize hardware dollars while getting the most versatility out of the peripherals used every day. This white paper will discuss a common challenge to businesses with dispersed resources and personnel along with a user friendly solution. The modern workspace is extremely fluid and not tied to a physical location. Resources are often geographically remote and widely dispersed utilizing office and/or home networks. Frequently, colleagues in different time zones or on different continents must collaborate to develop and complete their deliverables for the company. While the Internet has created a revolution in the sharing of information, there is always more versatility and competitive advantage that can be wrung from technology. More than ever in our fast paced modern environment, maximizing assets in a streamlined model is critical to a business as it tries to gain the top market position. A business that does not take full advantage of its assets is at a disadvantage when compared to competitors that fully utilize theirs. This is especially true for a lean company in a viciously competitive environment. As outlined by Arnoldo Hax

Professor of Management Emeritus of the MIT Sloan School of Management;

administrative efficiency through the maximizing of physical assets and peripherals among the other aspects of business operations, is a powerful strategic methodology that leads to a significant competitive advantage.

It is a force multiplier that frees scarce resources for other uses and strategic goals.
