Upgrading Redmine From 8.6 to 9.3
After more than a year of using Redmine to help us manage our projects it was time to upgrade. Redmine helps us manage our bug lists, wish lists, and to do lists.

IT Managment & Disaster Recovery for Anchor Sign
Anchor Sign is a premier sign manufacturer, building signs for anchor tenants such as Starbucks, CVS, PPG, and other well known international brands. After years of growth the time had come for Anchor Sign to build a newer, bigger, stronger IT department. The two-man department needed to grow and their lead technical manager had just landed a new gig on the west coast and would not be around long to help them get there. After a month-long process of interviews and background checks, Anchor Sign hired Cyber Sprocket to take over as interim CTO (Chief Technology Officer).
