Project: Initialize & Upgrade Computer System MC's initial work for Black Rocket included internet access, network design and configuration, e-mail, and general Mac setup. The transition from empty office space to fully integrated, net-capable agency took a matter of weeks and established Black Rocket firmly as a solid business for its new clients. Black Rocket is one of the newest advertising agencies in San Francisco. It was founded by four advertising executives formerly of Hal Riney & Partners and Goodby, Silverstein & Partners. Steve Stone, Bob Kerstetter, John Yost and Mark Barden decided to pool their creative talents and compete against the top agencies of the west coast. Their first large corporate account was the popular internet search engine company, Yahoo! Inc. Landing such a high level internet company required the new start-up to install a comprehensive network of computers in a short period of time. Their goal was to mirror the technology level of their high profile client, enabling them to provide an advanced level of service. Meeting this challenge required the services of a reputable and experienced computer consulting group. Mann Consulting was the answer. MC was called upon to do a full installation of several users. Mann Consulting assisted in wiring the entire office, providing new hardware, and installing all necessary software for the new machines. MC also managed the installation of an ISDN line which enabled employees to surf the web, send e-mail, and perform other internet-related tasks all from their desktops. Serving a client like Yahoo! forced them to have fast internet access and a fundamental knowledge of the web. MC's web-savvy consultants also trained the employees on the basics of the web's usefulness, further facilitating the transition process. The client has not looked back since then, as MC continues to assist them in developing and maintaining their computing systems.
