If you do not mind, could you expand?

DomainDiva - It sounds you have had some horrible experiences with IT.

It is always best to receive customer/professional references when dealing with any business.

Check these references out to insure they are legitimate.

You might even want to check into their portfolio of clients they have worked for.

If you need me to find a quality IT company in your area, I can do as such.

I have references for working with the following companies(as an independent consultant, not as a company):

Deparment of Homeland Security, Federal Building, Cleveland, Ohio
ADT Securties
Cleveland Clinic Hospital
Chase Bank(formally Morgan Chase Bank)
Kidney Dialysis Clinics

Also, I have relevant experience as:

Dell Technician
HP Technician
Microsoft Business Consultant

Deployment Technician

Tech Lead - Data Migration and/or Upgrade

Project Management - Network Upgrade & Migration

Network Administration & Engineer : Support and/or Analysis, implementation.

These are just a few of the organizations I have assisted in implementing a POSITIVE IT solution, either in collaboration with, or from a project managenment standpoint.

If you need references, and are serious about utilizing my company, I can assist. I would have to go against utilizing Best Buy's Geek Squad, unless you are only moving a pc or two.

If you are dealing with a Server/Client network, you might be causing yourself more trouble.

You do not understand. THIS IS STANDARD.

BBFB at least in the DFW area is first class. If you wanted to help me in this....perhaps letting me know a couple of weeks ago when I first posted would have been great.

BBFB also did the server install in our current office and the networking of 5 workstations. It has all been seamless. You see its who you know and since I spend a lot of money on hard technology I get the best...I cna't speak for anyone else. All I know is BBFB has MY back.

I remember whenall you did was call the phone company now everyone and their dog has to be involved its worse thatn buying a house. I went with BBFB because I did not want competing companies in and all the techs getting PO'd at each other. I actually went through and installation like that and I swore I would never do it again. At least this way, if theres anyone upset they can settle it internally.

BBFB gets the job done without all the tech ego hassles. I don't go egos.

You should look for someone with a knowledge engineering background. They will help you identify your data layers meta object, object, class, element and then you as the content expert (yes you really are!!!) can work WITH them to design a solution for your business. Who knows? Maybe it will turn out to be something so wonderful that you could sell it to other cleaning establishments?

There are all these sales leads sites and software, why not something like what you have in mind?

Sounds wonderfully interesting.

Hint for Best Buy: deal with the Flagship Magnolia Stores if you are small business.

What I like about BBFB is that they cater to small businesses first. They have decided to go after a niche market and it looks like they are doing quite well.
