This helped their client base see the little details that others often overlook in an IT relationship.
Peter starts the discussion around how he got started and how quickly it became obvious that he needed to build a team to build the business and reach the goals that he set forth for the company. Since that time his focus has been on the business itself and how to grow and expand the business.
