Up until this time they had no point of sale system. They wanted to use dial-up modems to attach a terminal in each store. I knew that this was a dying technology and urged them to use IP (Internet Protocol) instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I ended up designing and implementing a network over Frame Relay for them which used the new IP technology knowing that this would service them well into the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 2008 I revamped this network to utilize a VPN over newly available internet circuits over DSL, Cable and T1 circuits depending upon market availability. I also move all their phone services to VOIP. This reduced their operating costs by over $30,000 per year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you have any issues connecting and collaborating with multiple locations, let me know.
