The Internet offers the most powerful, cost-effective marketing medium in the world.

Sites, email, viral marketing and a host of new techniques can put you in front of your market more precisely than ever before.

Choosing the right hardware means addressing everything you and your business needs to do, choosing parts and manufacturers with care and checking software and networking requirements carefully.

Problems

The question for many agents is what is likely to happen to their estate agency if one of the major security threats takes place.

Data loss, hacking, viruses and plain old fashioned theft or computer breakdown can all spell disaster.

Of the these threats, viruses are by far the most common, with hacking a distant possibility. Most agents do not use antivirus despite the number of emails sent and received and the increasing use of attachments such as pictures.

Accounting data is most obviously valuable because of the perceived danger of its loss.

Property details and client records are also a source of concern, however, because they run the property business. 75% of businesses who experience data loss go bankrupt within 12 months
