IT Queries: Computer problems answered

We are currently implementing web-based application systems, is there a need to have all computers connected to the internet?

It depends where the servers for your applications are based. If this is an office based system then you’ll only need a connection to your intranet and not to the wider Internet. It is possible for your system administrator to set up a network so certain computers can’t go outside your office.

However most web based applications have their own servers. This means any computer that wants to use these programs has to have an Internet connection.

While it is possible to set up Internet connections that only access certain websites it does take a level of IT skills and can be messy to implement and enforce.

If this is a problem for your business, then you’ll have to consider the viability of a web based application.
