Intro to Topic 2:14<\/strong>
\nIn the summer of 2012, The Force Field conducted a survey of IT service providers and asked them to rate the national contractors and service platforms from best to worst. The results were published in a 20 page The National Contractor and Service Platform Survey Report<\/a> released in tandem with The Force Field Episode 62<\/a>. Today we’ve assembled a panel of three IT service professionals who represent a cross-section of technicians who actively perform contract work in the field. Our three panelists are Parrish Reinhoel of Pathfinder Networks<\/a>, Chris Tiffany of Sprinter Technology Services<\/a> and Dave Hayden of Computer 911<\/a>. We will ask them what they think of the survey data and if it paints an accurate picture of the techs, the nationals, the platforms, and the IT service industry as a whole.
