This directory is one of the most complete and comprehensive listings of national service companies for contract IT work available on the web today. Unlike previous directories, one of the advantages of utilizing ours is the ability of the tech to comment on and rate the company. The comment and ratings feature is powered by our peers and is intended to help techs make sound decisions when dealing with these companies and help them decide whether or not to perform work for them at all.<\/p>\n<p>I am currently updating the National Contractor Directory and searching for companies whose status is either unknown or may no longer be in business. At last count there are over 100 companies on the list and more will soon be added. While there are no plans to remove any companies at this time, there are obviously some who are no longer active or doing business, at least as they are listed. These companies will be flagged as such and will remain on the list for the time being as a point of reference for those techs researching them.<\/p>\n<p>Locating and researching each company is a long and comprehensive job and due to other obligations it is one which I am not able to devote all my time to perform. I need your help.<\/p>\n<p>I am compiling a list of companies that need to be updated as well as new ones\u00a0 that need to be checked out. All I am asking is if anyone who recognizes any companies on the list and\/or has performed work for any of these companies and knows whether they are currently active and are recruiting techs or no longer doing business to either e-mail me at comments@theforcefield.net or post your comments in <a href=\"..\/forums\/index.php?topic=3954.0\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"http:\/\/www.theforcefield.net\/forums\/index.php?topic=3954.0\">this forum thread<\/a> or this blog below.<\/p>\n<p>This will allow me to update the listing and keep it current for everyone. Also, if you know of any national contractors, platforms or service companies not on the list please let me know.<\/p>\n<p>Here is a current list of nationals who are either new, MIA, or whose status is unknown:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>ACSYSTECH, Inc.<\/li>\n<li>ATC Tech Solutions<\/li>\n<li>CanDoIT<\/li>\n<li>Cindy&#8217;s Techs<\/li>\n<li>Cilicon IT Solutions<\/li>\n<li>Computer Source North America<\/li>\n<li>Equant<\/li>\n<li>FS 24-7 Ltd<\/li>\n<li>Integrated Automation International<\/li>\n<li>iTechnicians.net<\/li>\n<li>iTenol<\/li>\n<li>New Edge Technology<\/li>\n<li>Pro-Tec Services, LLC<\/li>\n<li>On-Site Computer Services, LLC<\/li>\n<li>Ryno Network Services, Inc.<\/li>\n<li>WifiLand<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u00a0This list will be continuously updated during the next couple of days as we go through the directory. If anyone knows these companies or does any work for them, please let us know! <\/p>\n<p>Thanks in advance! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of the most accessed and utilized areas of the IT Business Resource Directory on The Force Field portal is the National Contractor Directory.
