I am the IT person: systems analyst, MRP/ERP/CRM guru, web developer, programmer, IT project coordinator, etc. The tools that I have developed for our people are browser based and use standard web development tools like PHP, XHTML, DOM, Ajax, CSS, etc. Both the code and the project are documented, for my benefit as well as the company's, but my knowledge of DBA and its structure would take awhile to replace. However, if I were to walk away tomorrow, Evo will keep going and nothing would be lost except a bit of flexibility. By sticking with the hybrid the company is protected from the downside while I am free to spend as little or as much time as I want making things work better.
