		<description>SpamSoap will be doing more than hanging out with us at the SMB Nation event, Joe - actually they&#039;re our featured vendor this time.  So they&#039;ll be parked, by design, at the VirtualAdministrator booth.  While I&#039;m happy to tell everyone the story of the transformation of Network Depot into the MSP On-ramp that we endeavor to be with Virtual Administrator, I would actually like to take this space to acknowledge the folks that birthed the company we&#039;ll be sharing a booth with.

The people at InHouseIT have been &quot;Go-Givers&quot; since the earliest days.  There are many &quot;personalities&quot; in the MSP world at this point, but the industry owes a debt to Steve Bender, Troy Hickerson, Chad, and many of the others who have made up the InHouseIT crew who&#039;ve given way more to the MSP community than they&#039;ll ever get credit for.  The &quot;Executive Summary Report&quot; so many of us use started out as an Excel spreadsheet at InHouseIT and was created and then GIVEN AWAY.  When we wanted to transform our company, they weren&#039;t just helpful - they were advocates.  We had the sense of them welcoming us into their home as guests and really nurturing us with best practices and recommended toolsets.  It&#039;s only natural that we return the favor to others, now.   If you look at the people we partner with, you&#039;ll notice one similarity - their ethics are top notch and their support and commitment is primary - they KNOW who they serve.  I&#039;m confident that this distinction will help us navigate the Master MSP waters successfully.  Our job is to provide a leg up, or as we like to call it an &quot;On-ramp&quot; to the MSP world and while for others it may be chiefly a profit center, for us, it&#039;s also a bit of a mission.  We owe it to the people who gave us the opportunity to get this far.  Thanks for the opportunity to respond.

P.S. 
Anyone who&#039;d like to tell me their story of how InHouseIT helped their business and didn&#039;t ask for credit or acknowledgement, feel free to contact me at Rich@VirtualAdministrator.com - I&#039;m sure we&#039;re not the only ones.</description>
