T Micro Solutions
As T Micro Solutions principal, I have been in the computer support industry since the days that PC support technicians were trying to figure out what to do with all the extra hard drive space on our brand new 20 MB hard drives. There was much grinning and slapping of backs going on because we had just loaded all our 5 1/4" floppy drive data (Lotus 1-2-3, Harvard Graphics, Wordperfect and some of us "gurus" had even loaded Clipper Compiler-dBaseIII +) to the hard drive and there was a lot of space left over. I mean a lot of space! In those days, all the real work was done in the "dark place" known as DOS. Windows wasn't a "real" network operating system, IBM and Novell Netware ruled in most business implementations. A technician worth his salt knew how to properly load protocol drivers in the protocol stack, make drivers load in specific memory locations. Heck, in those days, we even knew what a config.sys and autoexec.bat were and how to use them.
Alot of things have changed over the years, Windows came of age, Novell isn't on the forefront of network operating systems. Some things haven't changed - the "dark place" is still where the real work is done. Technology changed and some of us were lucky enough to stay and grow with it. Knowledge and expertise with companies like Citrix, Crystal Reports, and Microsoft. Microsoft software, such as, Windows Server - Active Directory, MS Exchange, MS SQL Server, SharePoint Portal Server, Visual Basic, MS Project, and MS Office have all come of age. Even, MS Access with the purchase of Rushmore techology by Microsoft, jettisoned Microsoft's database products into the mainstream as both a development and production environment platform. As part corporate support through the years, I have supported Solomon (now named Dynamics SL) and Great Plains (now named Dynamics GP).
There is a lot of technology out there and it can be a maze. Please allow us to bring our extensive expertise to your assistance.
Our philosophy is simple. We are in the business of implementing technology to automate, simplify and help you better manage your business. Let us help you take control of your information technology assets today.
