IT recommendations for small company (5-7) employees in Baton Rouge

Our current IT people are absolutely terrible. Any recommendations would be great

You get what you pay for. I imagine with only 5-7 employees your pay and benefits can't compete with corporations. I'd target younger or fresh out of college kids that don't know anybetter and still have a decent work ethic.

While I have no input on a company, I assume you're looking for managed services?
You'll need to probably give more info on what ya'll need done

Who is your current IT Company?
I posed this same question to the OT a year ago and I got a great recommendation for Essential Solutions. Ask for Bob Whte. Very affordable and super efficient.

he uses an outsourced company. he's not paying a full service IT person a year round salary and benefits for an office that small.

I bet the tech board would be a better place for this question

No No and No again.
My old company tried this and the kids schedules never coincided with us needing shite fixed. A company needs people on demand. If your server crashes, do you want some IT student saying, oh man i can't get to that for a couple of days because i have class and intramural softball the next night?

Experience matters. Most of the 'fresh out of college' group can't do more than remove viruses and install printers.

I hate outsourcing overseas. The communication barrier is a bitch as well as time conflicts

then when they leave the area to work on something else, you have to find another willing grad student and they may not pick up on everything that was set up a certain way and why. The one thing i have learned in moderately dealing as a fill in "IT Guy" for my old company along with my actual job, is that continuity can not be understated for price.

Anything after that comes down on the company for retaining employees
