Lol well our company is a small business that has grown to a small enterprise in a short amount of time. The problem is our department size has not grown to keep up. I have been here 6 months and there is only 3 of us for 100+ sites, desktop, servers, network, security, phones, ect.... so we all have many hats. Project management here works like this. The owner says hey I want us to do this and you have two days to do it. That's our project management :)
Thanks for the input guys. Its has helped a lot. Looks like Cisco Aironet is the way to go.
