hire a good it person to handle networking, servers and workstations....without tools and utilities, there is no business.
plus, if you have your own servers, you can pitch hosting and misc web services to clients...without having to count on others.
best way to do things.
it only takes 1 good system admin to handle all the shit at a small firm.
this is one of the mistakes i see small shops making - thinking that they can either outsource it or count on the standard 'service contract' bullshit from what ever large pc manufacture they use.
poor management and planning.
if you look at shops in the movie/film and video gaming industry they all employee a complete it staff for work, use their own servers, and a lot of times write their own custom tools and software in house to streamline production and work flow.
it's a hardcore investment upfront, but the return in business is worth it.
