This tiny company, created and owned by myself, was relatively successful considering my lack of experience and wisdom.
ACS was organized as a sole proprietor business with a single employee…me. This endeavor was basically a crash course in economics and business in general. During the time that I owned and operated ACS I embarked in no marketing campaigns. All my marketing was strictly word-of-mouth and kept me very busy.
ACS was a computer consulting company specializing in business networking, computer repair, maintenance, and general troubleshooting. Many of the first networks I installed and maintained were of the 10Base2 variety (coax).
My client list included construction companies, schools, outsourced work from other local computer companies, government partners like British Nuclear Fuels Ltd. (BNFL) and individuals.
One of the largest networks I maintained during this period was a star topology consisting of one server and fewer than 50 clients. The server was running Windows NT 3.51 and the client machines were running MSDOS with MS Windows for Workgroups 3.11 (Thank God that’s over).
In late 1995 I sold ACS to Dynacom Systems, Inc. and became an employee for them basically doing the same thing as I was doing in ACS and more.
