An IT contractor by design, is a person who can enter a client's site and very quickly become the expert within that entity, It is a requirement that we become the most knowledgeable person within that particular infrastructure or our clients would benifit more by training up an FTE.
In the words of Albert Einstien:
When asked for his telephone number, he walked over to a telephone directory, and looked it up saying to a rather surprised onlooker " An intelligent man is not a man who can store information, but a man who knows how to find it".

This allows us to be the greatest benifit to our clients. I hope you enjoy this site.
