Horror Stories

Imagine joining fourteen other people (most of them smokers, in a small, unventilated former paper storeroom) who have been working 24X7 days on a 20-month project amid desks literally stacked atop each other so that everyone could have some desktop and a storage drawer.

Or being sent to a project continually subjected to the raving, paranoid, megalomanic delusions of a rich shipping services magnate who happened to be your employers' client.

The money was good ... if you could take the pressure. Then, big iron was the only game in town and only high rollers could play. The cost of a computer project was measured in millions of dollars of hardware, not in the costs of the software. And cost overruns were not the exception.

The collaborative consultation techniques used at modern consulting firms, including MGT Computer Solutions, make all of yesterday's woes unnecessary. Today's computers dwarf those giants of yesterday even though they are a fraction of the size and cost. This abundance of computers means that the talent to make a project work doesn't have to be where the eventual target machine is. And our final products, having been developed on the Internet, will be portable to any network.

And you don't have to be a high roller, either.
