We at Tru It Support have decided not to take part in the current recession, we will leave that to others.
As competitors hunker down and prepare for tough times we are brim full of confidence and know that Tru It Support and our customers have an unprecedented opportunity to grow.
Major companies like ANZ bank, Brookfield Multiplex, General Motors Holden, are sheding hundreds of jobs in an apparent financial panic attack. It looks like they are doing their best to fulfil the prophecies of the doom sayers.
Lets face it if every company sacked their staff there would be no one to buy their goods or services. Contraction causes recessions, Expansion ends recessions.
It is the companies and people that get on with it and expand that will save our collective hides.
Not the government and certainly not the spooked over priced CEO's of some of our major companies.
This is the time for the optimists to prosper and at Tru It Support we are optimists.
We (TruItSupport) have been able to improve ROI (Return on Investment) and improve system up time for all our customers.

Your IT system should be simple reliable and effective.
Some times having two servers can be more cost effective than having one.
Sometimes having an ISP host your internet and email can be the most reliable and cost effective solution.
Sometimes it is better to have you internet and,or mail server or both in house.
At TruItSupport we support all of the above solutions and have been able to save our customers time and money by recommending the best fit, not the most expensive solution.
We are going to continue to sell our "Hot Dogs". Damn the recession, lets all get on with business give us a call or send us a Contact.
We have included this apocryphal story because of its relevance to the current situation in Australia

The Hotdog vendor:
There was a man who lived on a road out of town who sold hot dogs.
He was an immigrant and so had limited English.
His education was poor and he could not read.
But he sold great hot dogs.
He put up signs on the road telling how good they were.
He stood on the side of the road and cried; "Hot dogs for sale"?
And people bought.
He increased his sausage and bun orders.
He bought a bigger stove to take care of his trade.
Business was good and he was making lots of money.
During the holidays his son came home from university to help him out.
But then something happened.
His son said, "Dad haven't you been listening to the radio?
The newspapers are saying we are all doomed?
There's a big depression coming.
The European situation is frightening.
The domestic situation is getting worse."
Where upon the father thought, "well, my son's been to university, he reads and he listens to the radio, and he ought to know."
So the father cut down on his sausage and bun orders, took down his advertising signs, and no longer bothered to stand out on the side of the road to sell his hot dogs.
And his hot dog sales fell almost overnight.
"You're right, my boy" the father said to his son.
"We certainly are in a great depression."

Virgin's Blue
Better late then never, or maybe not!
"Virgin Blue pursues $20 million in compensation for business loses in check-in crash."
Virgin Blue will seek to recover $20 million lost when it's reservation system crashed last month.
The carrier is expected to demand compensation from Navitaire the company which supplies the NewSkies system which failed on September 26 2010.
Apparently another carrier Ryan air had experienced similar problems in the preceding weeks so Navitaire should have been especially alert to possibility of systems issues with Virgin Blue.
Virgin in this situation are probably in a bind that smaller organisations don't have to face. That is they are locked into a proprietary IT solution because of their need to collaborate with other industry players. This mean that Virgin probably cannot change IT suppliers even if they wanted to.
To an outsider the performance of Navitaire in this situation has been outstanding. When most businesses expect an up-time of 99.99% which means a downtime of around one hour a year and some businesses demanding up-time of 99.999 or about six minuets a year, it is hard to understand how an Navitaire could let their customer suffer an outage of days.
Virgin Blue do not see this situation as causing long term damage to their company. How would your business be perceived if you suffered a similar outage. The concept of disaster recover somehow does not seem to have permeated the people at Virgin Blue or Navitaire and they both should share some responsibility for this. If organisations don't ensure that their IT providers have sufficient disaster recovery for them, the they must share some of the responsibility when disasters happens.
