If this is not acceptable, please remove and apologies.

The current economic doldrums are forcing me to be more of a salesman for my businesses, having lost 3 clients since Sept due to budget constraints forcing them to drop their disaster recovery contracts.

I'm part owner of www.dynamicdr.com, a full service disaster recovery site located in Aurora. We've been in business for over 3 years now and provide IT DR solutions for the small/medium business sector as well as business continuity planning. If you have a requirement for these services or want to keep your current provider honest, drop me a line and I'll get you a quote.

Am also the owner of www.i3tg.com, a technical services business primarily focused on IBM's Power Systems (AS400, iSeries, System i, i5). We are an IBM Business Partner for services and consulting. This is my fifth year in business and has been the toughest financially since year 1, so I need to expand my reach and am putting it out there if you need tech services for your enterprise.

Again, if this is contrary to forum rules, please delete.

Kindest Regards;
Garth

I think the rules state you must me a paying member before selling anything.
Usually you get flamed when you break that one.
Economy is slowing down for most of us.

I don't mind networking with you or anyone else for that matter but understand that it is a two street. If anyone is interested in moving forward with something like this perhaps a breakfast meeting might be in order.

seeing as how this doesn't infringe on the status of any current advertisers and isn't even remotely automotive i don't think anyone will have a problem with it.

Rennlist canada is a pretty closely knit community almost separate from main rennlist anyhow.

garth,
shoot me a pm with some more details and your contact, i will pass it on to some contacts.

best of luck!

Thanks guys, I really don't want to get anyone PO'ed and if a mod deletes, I totally understand.

I'm always open for a business breakfast. In Mississauga this week and live in Markham/Stouffville, just say when and where.

I guess I assumed wrong, nobody flamed you after all.
Great! Good luck with your enterprise.

BTW, I will be in Aurora for New Year's Eve (Howard Johnson)

Maybe we should have a networking session and find out what everyone does and how we can help each other. Or maybe everyone can post what they do and we can create a list.

I run a marketing company called HiPoint Marketing, and it would be great to offer my clients other services that you guys supply. Likewise, if any of your customers are looking for help marketing their products and services, I would be glad to assist them.

Perhaps you can start a new thread. I think this can help some people.

Networking of any type can only be a positive thing.
You can count on me if we get together.
