I have some experience. I ran an Oracle based e-commerce
software development company and spun-off a successful web
based e-commerce business. I've been in the stuff for 10
+ years. I want the MCSE to spin off a new business.
I'll be paying the freight.

We have a great deal of customers requiring networking
solutions. I want to provide design, implementation and
remote database administration for our existing customer
base.
