I have recently set a new company and have target figures on employment to reach 50 staff before January 2004.

As I have no Hands on technical Experience I would be grateful for any suggestions that can be made on Hardware and software bearing inmind that it will need to be upgraded and backed up at regular intervals.

Looking at servers, switches, pc's, laptops monitors etc all networked together. This is a project that has not been started yet

You need a local dealer or consultant to evaluate your needs, provide hardware/software, install and configure network. The Dude from Dell isnt going to get it done, you need an experianced local IT tech.

a consultant or consulting company from the start, believe it or not. There is nothing that will cost more than to have someone come in and straighten out a mess of equipment and software that they may or may not be familiar with. In the end, you could end up easily with paying for everything more than twice.

If you decide to go with a professional or DIY, be really clear in the beginning about what you need to do along the path of your business plan, and then fit the technology to your needs, not the other way around.

I would need to know much more than 50 employees in a year to fit your business with the right hardware and software. You could purchase every bit of highest-rated software and hardware and still be looking for the proverbial horse to pull the cart.
