Dear Technology Professional:

There is a saying in Chinese that translates into, "May you live in interesting times."

In fact we do! The technology and financial markets are exploding. Not just in the volume of the business, but also in the quality and number of distribution markets. It was only a few years ago that the Internet was the new toy, a market-changing way of reaching the consumer. Since then, we have seen the technology market shifting, moving from one idea to the next. What is needed in these interesting times is a company grounded in the understanding of technology and real business acumen.

Today, companies need a number of professionals to design and operate a successful web site. They need Graphic Designers, special java-perl-asp Programmers, Database Administrators, Security Experts, Network Administrators, Cisco Designers, Content Managers, Help Desk personnel, and Technical Writers -- who document everything that takes place.

In December 1998, ITS FX was founded. We were founded on the belief that there are four elements to a successful technology effort, which are: PEOPLE, PROGRAMS, PROJECTS and PROFITABILITY:

In all of our efforts, we have developed a very good understanding about what type of people and what type of tools that are required to make a company's technology efforts not only effective but profitable.

PEOPLE: FX provides the finest 'Technology Staffing' for all type of contract positions. We specialize in the short term placement of professionals for specific projects.

PROJECTS: FX provides the 'Project Management' to successfully roll out a network or technology projects. Regardless of your needs, we can provide either the personnel or direct management for your technology project.

PROGRAMS: All FX technology are designed to work as tool boxes for the business professional. FX technology makes web sites fully capable customer generation machines. Using feedback from all of our customers, we continually learn what is required to make 'IT' work. This is why so many companies trust us with their contract staffing, program management and technology development.

PROFITS: We strongly believe that having the right people, tools and design make the difference in the success of any technology development or web site. Because of our experience, we long ago abandoned the handicapped business methods, web designs and tools that most other shops still sell. We also have put world-class tools into our web sites, not the outdated careless ones drawn with crayons. Resulting in increased profits for the business customer.

To date we have:

1) Assisted large telemarketing companies in the staffing for their database design, network management, and help desk;
2) Worked with large school district's in the technology staffing for the design and implementation of their computer networks and Internet access;
3) Worked with large international financial institutions, providing them with Java & Visual Basic programming staff;
4) Worked with a number of mortgage companies on their site development, rate programming, and other online consumer interfaces;
5) Provided marketing and medical "technical writers", documenting clients technology and biomedical efforts;
6) Worked with a publishing company in the design, development and implementation of their database driven web site;
7) Staffed Financial and Administrative personnel for a major telecom; and
8) Developed a number of professional B2B communities for both the Mortgage and Real Estate marketplaces.

In the past few years, we have seen many technology staffing & design firms fail. Many failed because they lost sight of the business customer and the needs of the consumer.

FX is committed to providing the best people and products at the lowest cost.

Speaking for all of us at FX, we are looking forward to working with you.

Sincerely,

Hank Winters
Managing Director
