About AUXware International Inc.

AUXware International Inc. was originally established January 1st, 1998 as MCCI (Mentor Computer Consulting Incorporated) by Joe Hatcher as an insured Sole Proprietorship. Joe was asked by several companies to come to work for them as a private contractor. The result was beyond fantastic! Joe met so many new people in so many places, adding to his client list often.

A short time later, it was discovered there were other companies with the same name ... and the MCCI.com domain was already taken ... so Joe changed the name of his business to AUXware Intl. Inc. and secured the domain name AUXware.com as well.

The Y2K Boom!

The year 2000 was most likely the most dreaded year in computer history. Many Programmers never programmed for this rollover. Because of this, an enormous number of people were needed in the workforce to go through every program, in-house and vendor, and look for potential Y2K problems. In the first three years of business, Joe averaged 3,000 hours per year on-site at various companies around the globe. This gave him a chance to introduce himself and his skills to several companies, and word of mouth has expanded his customer list globally.

After the Boom ...

The need for private consultants diminished and Joe found it more profitable to go to work for a private company full time.
Joe still takes contract assignments, and just takes a leave of absence from his full time job. His employer has no problem with this ... it is actually encouraged!

The Present:

AUXware maintains a presence in the IT Consulting industry with both Global and Domestic customers.
Joe has met so many life-long friends around the world ... this is the best part of the job!

The Future:

AUXware is here to stay! Joe's son, Joel Hatcher, will soon be joining forces with AUXware!
Joel Hatcher, is also a computer professional, although outside Joe's areas of expertise.
Joel can learn Joe's areas of expertise, and Joe can learn Joel's.
The combination of technologies will create a new enhanced AUXware; an across-the-board technology services company!
