152.0. "Technical Aid - resourcing company" by CURRNT::GILROYC () Mon Feb 10 1997 15:56

Has anybody any experience of a company called "Technical Aid"?

I work in the PSG group in the UK, and we have recently been told that
Technical Aid are being taken on to assist Digital in the process
of resourcing contractors (or some such similar words - I don't have
the exact wording here).  The immediate change to us has been to
alter our contracts so that Technical Aid is the client instead of
Digital, but we have been told there should be no further impact.

Apparently, this exercise has already happened in the US, about 4
years ago, but I have searched the Digital_contractor conference and
this one, and found no mention of it.  Does anybody have any knowledge 
of this happening in the US?

    So you have a contract with agency Foo, who have a contract with
    Technical Aid who have a contract with DIGITAL? The mind boggles, it
    really does. No sign of that happening here (yet)!

    That's not how things are working for me, either. Sounds a nightmare,
    and more fingers in the pie...
    
    Cheers, Laurie.

    And as we all know, more fingers in the pie means less pie. Hasn't
    happened to me either.
