Steve,

I suggest you look harder for qualified techs. Of the five or so jobs I've seen come into my mailbox from your system generally only one of the replies comes from someone one might consider qualified. The rest are from young opportunists tring to make a fast buck.

This will get your excellent idea a bad name. It has already disuaded me from posting my services in response to advertisments.

Someone once told me that if the words "reliable", "cheap" and "quality" were aranged in a triangle you would only be able to pick two of the three. He's right!

www.asteriskhelpdesk.com <http://www.asteriskhelpdesk.com/>  is planning
on offering such a service.  We are in the process of obtaining
qualified techs that speak different languages and are available around
the clock.  We are developing testing for the techs and a backend system
for escalation, billing, and history.

Thanks,

Steve

Ahh, I gotcha. I thought you meant basically the opposite :). It does
sound like a good idea.
Somebody could start a firm that would have a contractual relationship
(employer/employee, independent-contractor, whatever) with some asterisk
gurus and hire its services out to companies like yours. Companies like
yours could elect to keep configuration data regarding your system on
file with the support firm to aid in troubleshooting. The main stumbling
block that I see is reluctance on behalf of client companies to trust a
newly-formed firm with the passwords to their phone systems.

No, I'm asking the list.  How can we collaborate in order to provide
good service to our customers?  How do we organize (like Geek Squad) to
provide 24x7 coverage for Asterisk systems?

This sounds good to me. Do you have any more information on what you
envision? What information would you like me to provide about my
Asterisk, networking, and computing skills and knowledge?
