Does anyone have a MS TechNet Subscription?
You could always sign up for MS Bizspark. Full access to pretty much all MS software, and you only pay $100 after 3 years. Sorted. -
BT Business
Well, if their business broadband offering is anything to go by, then no. I've had three outages in the last 6 months, each lasting for 2 to 3 days (or longer over the weekend). Support is utterly useless and their "automated" fault monitoring tool that emails you with updates is laughable. No... -
Am Tech group
I did a spell at Companies House through Amtech, about 3 years ago. They were a decent bunch and always paid invoices on time. Not sure about now though - the agent I dealt with moved on to another agency.- adestor

Possible BBC Contract
I was on a contract at Auntie for about 8 months I think it was, about 18 months ago. Don't know where people get the idea that the contracts are caught by IR35 - my contract was through Hayes as was compliant. It's a nice place to work, if a little shabby in places.Very much faded glory. And...- adestor

Thoughts on the Value of Certifications for Contractors...
On the Oracle dev side, I've seen a few job ads asking for OCP quals. However, I've never been asked at interview for them. I've looked at some of the questions and not only are they vague but also don't questions about real-world scenarios - just rote learning. So when I interview people I...- adestor
