Lansend being a small business itself has been providing IT services & support to other small business since 1990. Being a small business ourselves we have a unique advantage in understanding the needs and requirements of our small business clients. With the advent of the Internet, Lansend researched, qualified & implemented solutions such as modem sharing, proxy servers Internet mail connectors & other such technologies that would allow our small business clients the same functionalities & conveniences enjoyed by large fortune 500 companies for a fraction of the cost. When DSL & other always on Internet services become affordably available to the small business community, Lansend used all its accumulated knowledge to implement this New technology to allow our small business clients to implement & use services such as VPN , remote access in house mail servers & Intranet , hitherto only available to larger companies which were willing to invest in a T1 internet connection which would have an annual cost of anywhere between $6000 -$18000 annually , a sum few small businesses could afford.
