About Greg Teater… I am, Timothy Nguyen, a retired CIO from the State of Ohio. It is my pleasure to provide this letter of recommendation on Greg Teater. For the past 22+ years since 1997, the Ohio Department of Youth Services (ODYS) and then the CIO (Chief Information Officer) at the Opportunities for Ohioans with Disabilities (OOD) have been the client of Greg Teater’s firms with Greg at the helm of all the projects as the solution architect. Greg has been a solid solution architect for the different agencies and other private companies much longer than 22+ years that I have known and worked with him. Through all those years and the different networking projects, I came to trust Greg and value his recommendations and ideas as a solution architect to achieve successfully the goals and the objectives of the businesses of ODYS and OOD. His solutions always have been very solid in addition to his excellent problem-solving skills. His commitment to his customers is also exemplary. He is very familiar with the design of the State of Ohio network and can integrate the network of the different agencies to the centralized state network for the Ohio agencies to share and exchange information. For each client and for historical purposes, Greg keeps very detail and thorough notes on how each network was laid out and designed for any future integrations and designs at a later date. He not only has the vast knowledge and experience on the Cisco technologies but also on other technology platforms (i.e., Microsoft, HP, Dell, etc.) of the current and past. He follows the industry standard to design the network to allow upgrade and integrate with future technologies as business change. He always collects and analyzes network data prior to making sound changes to the network. In my earlier days, I was once told by a former CIO to always follow Greg everywhere he goes if I want to be successful. As I found out along the way, I can conclude 22+ years later that it was the right move for me to follow him all this time. I recommend to all to listen and make sense of what Greg has to say and ask lots of questions before making the decision. Because of his long tenure in this industry, he has become the subject matter expert in this arena. Furthermore, he has the talent and the ability to use everyday language that is not too technical for everyone to understand. So, give him a try. You will not regret. Timothy Nguyen, (Retired) CIO from the State of Ohio

Few people have the opportunity to work with someone as equally talented from an engineering and customer service/empathy approach like Greg. I had the opportunity to work with Greg for over 3 years at MCPc/Logicalis, teaming together to sell products and services to customers across Ohio. Greg's ability to handle multiple projects, and continually deliver the best solution for our team, as well as the customer, allowed me to develop and grow a number of profitable customer relationships. To this day I enjoy catching up with Greg and sponging as much technical knowledge as possible from him. Greg would be a tremendous asset to any company, and has earned my highest recommendation.

      For over 15 years, I have partnered with FCSG for many projects; I have hired FCSG for skills needed on my projects and they hired me for skills needed for their projects. It just seemed natural that I join this great team. FCSG has developed a unique model that allows for 100% customer focus. As a customer, I always was in contact with the person who could make decisions. The IT business is very dynamic and each customer is unique. Having access to the right people at the right time allowed my projects to complete without delay and within budget. Now that I am a consultant working for FCSG, I can fully appreciate why FCSG has been successful since 1989. My peers are experts in their respective field and for unique capabilities, FCSG has developed a vast partnership that can fulfill any project requirement. FCSG has four pillars of services: 1) Managed IT Services with Security as a focus - 24x7x365 2) Hourly IT Services 3) Remote IT Services 4) Data Backup and Recovery As always, I am reachable via LinkedIn.
