Hi Everyone,

Thanks for your responses!

Coke spills do stain - heh. Feel free to bring along a mop and we should be fine!

I had a more extensive meeting with Computer Direct Access (Mr. Jagannath is their Service Manager), I have a little more confidence that they may be able to execute our requirements. However, it has reinforced the fact that the level of competence amongst IT implementors is perhaps not the best.

Gajanan, can you tell me a little bit more about your experience? My only big issue with freelancers or temporary staff is accountability - if someone messes up, who do you hold responsible? At least with a vendor, in a worse case scenario you could explore legal options - with an individual this would be extremely difficult.

I am almost tempted by the option of a bunch of guys from Emiratesmac! Let me have a think of this - if anyone is interested perhaps we can throw an adhoc team together?

I have also been privately contacted by Mr. Venkatesh Sridhar or Caprient FZ LLC. They seem to be an SMB focused implementor who focus on migrating platforms (amongst other things) - I will let everyone know how this goes..

Please feel free to continue adding your ideas and thoughts below (even if they may be related to cleaning Coke stains!)
