Always Be Networking
I know it sounds cliché and a little hokey, but networking with other IT companies and people is so super important. Recently we ran into an issue where we needed assistance with a high end Cisco item that none of the techs here could work on, so we are left with a few options, reach into our contact list or Google to find someone who can help. Let me just tell you that Googling a cisco certified tech is not an easy task, you will mostly find job postings and the CCNA test. Fortunately through years of good contacts, friends, and working well with others our company had a few people we could turn to, to get the work done.

If you need help finding a proper technician, call us!
