"Limitless access to information ... expanding global markets ... 24/7/365 business demands ... technological advances ..." "In 1994, veteran AT & T executive Risk Roscitt saw all of the above - and sensed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. The business world was globalizing, creating an exciting, potentially enormous market for IT network outsourcing. Roscitt looked around at AT & T and saw - already in place - the services, products, and technological expertise that could be used to provide network management and communications outsourcing for other client companies. All Roscitt needed was for people to share in his vision - and stake their reputations alongside his to help turn that vision into reality."
