Reassigning tasks on the fly between London and Roselle Park, they brought processing and storage systems online, installed truckloads of new equipment with help from Microsoft and Cisco Systems, and in isolated cases even reconstituted passwords of fallen colleagues, who--like me and probably you--made them personal and easily remembered...
