If they are truly set up as a tech consulting firm, you've got it made. In 
most technology consulting firms, particularly smaller ones, the company IS 
the IT department. If you have good written policies in place and everyone 
adheres to them, you can shed the IT Director ball and chain to free up 
time to get out and generate revenue for the company. It doesn't get any 
better than that.
