RE: Outsourcing IT

Anne,

In addition to IBM Global Services, there is an IBM Business partner in
the Midwest called MSI (msiinet.com) who provides both hosted and remote
system administration facilities. Global Services (I think)
concentrates on big outsourcing contracts, and MSI does both Large shop
and small shop. Many times these companies will bring over existing
staff and integrate them into the outsourcer.

You may also check with local IBM System Integrators in your customer's
area because this is an area of increasing attention and competition.
The best companies have ISO (and other) certifications that suggest they
use professional IT standards and practices.

HTH,

This is a question most of us would rather not discuss, but
do any of you know of reputable companies who do outsourcing
for small businesses?
If so, would you please send me a private email at
alucas@xxxxxxxxxxx

Thanks!
