About Us

As a computer guru, Jay worked hard to overcome some really bad choices as a yongster, to get into the information technology service industry and was doing work at the time as a contracted computer IT technician while pursuing classes at Santa Fe College. Prior to that Jay studied electronic engineering at ITT Technical Institue in Van Nuys CA before he returned back to Gainesville and reenrolled at SFCC (Santa Fe Community College back then).

Right out of college he became "The IT Department" for Atkins technical, the cadillac of digital food thermometers with their patented thermocouple technology. Atkins had a Novell NetWare 3.x network on the Bindery database for user/group administration at that time. Not only did Jay upgrade this to Novell NetWare 4.x and up to Novell Directory Services (on the IPX protocol), when the TCP-IP protocol was relased and this whole internet thing came around....Jay integrated the native Novell networks, IPX-SPX and their 4.x servers with the TCP-IP stack. It was a chore - but he got IT done.

Later he upgraded the NetWare 4.x servers to 5.x on Open Enterprise Server + eDirectory. IPX was also retired from their network for good in the year 2000. This happened by Atkins Technical moving to a brand new building and location across town.

Jay built an entirely new network of NetWare 5.x servers, an ArtiSoft TeleVantage CTI PBX system (the old site had a Merlin Legend that belonged in a museum, not production), with brand new instances of IdustriOS & Platinum for Windows server daemons running on PervasiveSQL servers on the NetWare 5.x LAMP stacks.......Atkins closed business at the old location on a Friday - by next Monday morning, all phone numbers were ported over to a new bonded 6M T1 circuit, databases migrated, servers and entire network was up and 100% usable.

Zero day downtime.
