Every once in awhile we all need to take stock of our businesses and make some difficult decisions. Sometimes those decisions are made by us and sometimes they are made for us. The latter happened recently to the VirCIO Group when Brian Cripe decided to pursue a new career path. I wish Brian the best of luck in his new position. This did leave me with a conundrum since VirCIO Group denotes more than one and there currently is only one partner left. I decided to keep the name for now since many folks out there know the VirCIO Group and I guess it leaves room for future expansion (or maybe Brian’s return someday in the future).
While VirCIO Group will continue to offer a full range of IT consulting, I have also decided it was a good opportunity to return to my roots in web design and development, especially since most of VirCIO Group’s work has been in this area of late. Going forward I will begin to emphasize that VirCIO Group can provide expert level web design and development. I have over 13 years of web design and development experience with a heavy emphasis on the programming side – asp, php, mySQL, flash actionscript, e-commerce and shopping carts. A great many of my projects are as a sub-contractor to graphic design, marketing and advertising firms who have the graphic design skills but need someone who can do the backend programming. If you happen to know someone in this situation, please pass on my contact information. You’ll be glad that you did.
And here’s to change.
