Manage ERP System maintenance and enhancements.
Jel Sert Co., a manufacturer of powdered drink mixes and juice drinks located in West Chicago, was confronted by a common challenge:

2. The skill-set needed to meet these objectives necessitated new hires be extensively trained with some previous experience with the technologies required (Mfg-Pro/Progress 4GL).
3. Problem was keeping trained programmers. Recruiting costs, IT management time and project backlogs necessitated a better solution be found to Jel Sert’s long-term requirements..

Case Study: Rust-Oleum Corporation
Infrastructure and Data Security Support
by Netmedic, Inc.
Case Study: Rust-Oleum Corporation – Infrastructure and security support
Our Client
Rust-Oleum Corporation is a worldwide leader in protective paints and coatings for both home and industry. Their products range from decorative American Accents® paints to durable industrial roof repair coatings.
Technical Setting
Their daily business operations utilized an IBM System 390 main frame system. OS2 servers residing on a token ring network. and they used an outside organization to implement Windows NT.
THE CLIENT CONCERN
Rust-Oleum had several concerns/issues with their network. First of which, the vendor they initially used did not properly execute the installation of Windows NT. This caused the log-in time to the network to be extremely slow. The only e-mail that was in place was based on the mainframe and was questionable. The reliability of the network as a whole was doubtful at best, and the network connections with remote sites were usually non-existent because they were always dropping. Another high profile problem was the lack of technical support that was in place for the end-users. Lastly, the security of the network was vulnerable.

Finding "hard to find" technical resources
"Where in the world am I going to find…"
http://www.rainmkrs.com/case_bmi.html
by Jon C. Liberman
"Where in the world am I going to find…"
Bob Smyk
IS Director
BMI Inc Palatine, Illinois
Our Client:
Bob is the IS Director of BMI , Inc. an electronic component manufacturing company HQ in the Chicago area with two plants in Illinois and one in Germany.
The Client Concern: Bob Smyk:
"I called Rainmakers because Jon has helped us find some hard-to-find Progress-related experts for our Illinois locations and helped resolve a Citrix performance problem. But this was different. This time I needed a varied NT and infrastructure skilled resources in Germany. To make things tougher, we were looking for someone fluent in German, and English who was willing to work on an as-needed basis. To keep our project on track we needed them to start in less than three weeks.
Frankly, I thought it was a long shot. But Jon and the staff at Rainmakers started the search immediately."
