Building Blocks

They Say Ii Takes A Village to raise a child. Building our new NWC Inc. lab brings this analogy to mind―it's not an exaggeration to say the entire NETWORK COMPUTING "village" was involved in the process, and we're as proud of the result as any cigar- distributing dad. If you've been part of a significant IT buildup, you know what we're talking about. Participating in the weekly conference calls. Jumping through hoops to get a budget approved. Deciding who's doing what, then a couple of weeks later clearing up the inevitable assignment confusion only to have it resurface a week after that. Pulling specialists together to build a stronger result than any one person could have developed alone. Relying on vendors that don't always come through. Seeing the pieces come together, later than hoped and in some cases not exactly as envisioned, but getting the job done. That's where we've been the past months.
