Originally posted by petergriffin View PostThing is, this was ok 10 years ago, Nowadays there's no such a thing as a small IT company. It's all about the cloud and if you don't work for and with the usual suspects who do some sort of cloud computing, there's no business. Unless you have 15-20 years work experience and tons of contacts but I assume this is not the case of the OP.
For most of it I saw the same technologies at the root of it....
Go to a reprographics house or a print shop or a small business... They don't have the want for fecking about in the clown'd they want a few PC's linked to a file and print and some web pipes... I am already encountering companies that have been burned by Azure or EC2 and want to go back to a cleaner home owned architecture...
The way in is finding a company like them and adopting the IT piece as you go. Then you have experience running a small office network. and you can grow even if its only a few levels up... But thats where you learn, because no one else can do it for you.Comment
