In the days when a few Computer Terminals were installed in the Data Entry room which was next to the computer room cabling was not an issue. However, now that computer resources are tools used by many an expert the need for support staff for specialist cabling is significant.

Local Area Network (LANS) allow the consolidation of individual Data bases and applications into a corporate information system. They are a means to both control and project vital corporate information. They also ensure that valid and up to date information is available to authorized staff. A LAN can link personal computers to shared resources and files, at the same time allowing access to Mainframe computers.

The personal computer revolution has opened a gap in the market that telephone engineers and electricians have not been trained for but in some cases are trying to respond to. Industrial and commercial engineers are now turning to system integrators the buzz word for a contractor who can install the required wiring systems for LANS and who can give advice and install a suitable wiring system for their premises.

The market for systems integrators is growing, and the local area has no such contractor. The local market is being catered for by various operators. The proposed company will be targeting the nationwide market. The reason for this being the largest users are concentrated with the UK's major cities and Leigh is within striking distance of both the M6/M62 motorways and the link between Manchester and Liverpool. Having said that, the local market will be investigated. It is a fact that Data communication suppliers are non-existent with the exception of shops such as Tandy. This type of outlet only serves the radio/computer with the proposed company.
