Subject: [Vantage] OT-SURVEY: IT Staffing
After a frustrating weekend of trying to convert from 4.0 to 5.1 by myself,
I was curious how many companies of similar size have an IT person on staff
- either part or full time? I am the controller and a CPA, but AM NOT a
computer guru (I've learned most of what I know about networks & computers
in the 3 years I've been here)! Following is a brief outline of our company
makeup:
* Manufacturer with 3 plants - total headcount of 160
* 5 servers company-wide (one at each remote site and 3 at our
corporate location - one running Vantage/data storage, one mail server & one
Citrix server) w/ LAN in place
* 35 desktops company-wide (20 using Vantage, 4 of which are using
Citrix to connect remotely)
* We are planning on implementing Data Collection and getting our
third location up and running on Vantage via Citrix late this year
* We do use an independent computer consultant for problems that our
beyond my "limited" expertise, but on an as-needed basis and he is not
always available to be on site when needed (he is not familiar with Vantage)
Before I approach the company president with my frustrations and my thoughts
to hire someone, I'd like your feedback.
Thanks in advance!
Sincerely,
Rick Ludwig
