     This Amendment No. 9 amends the Schedule 13D (the “Original Schedule 13D”) filed with the Securities Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 8, 2002, as amended by Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D filed with the SEC on August 7, 2002, Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13D filed with the SEC on August 12, 2002, Amendment No. 3 to Schedule 13D filed with the SEC on November 18, 2002, Amendment No. 4 to Schedule 13D filed with the SEC on April 16, 2003, Amendment No. 5 to Schedule 13D filed with the SEC on July 17, 2003, Amendment No. 6 to Schedule 13D filed with the SEC on August 19, 2003, Amendment No. 7 to Schedule 13D filed with the SEC on October 22, 2003 and Amendment No. 8 to Schedule 13D filed with the SEC on November 21, 2003. Unless otherwise stated herein, the Original Schedule 13D, as amended, remains in full force and effect. Terms used herein and not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Original Schedule 13D, as amended.

ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION

Item 4 is hereby amended by inserting the following new paragraph after the eighteenth paragraph thereof:

     On May 11, 2004, the Issuer entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Pomeroy IT Solutions, Inc. (the “Purchaser”) and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Pomeroy Acquisition Sub, Inc. (the “Subsidiary”) which provides for the merger of the Subsidiary with and into the Issuer (the “Merger”). Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, holders of the Issuer’s common stock are to receive cash in exchange for their shares of common stock of the Issuer upon consummation of the Merger. In connection with the Merger Agreement, on May 11, 2004, Wynnchurch US, Wynnchurch Canada, Wynnchurch Capital, Ltd. (the “Wynnchurch Parties”) and Pomeroy IT Solutions, Inc. entered into a Lockup and Purchase Agreement (the “Lockup Agreement”), which is attached as an exhibit hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

     Pursuant to the Lockup Agreement, in connection with the Merger, and on condition that the Merger is consummated, the Wynnchurch Parties agreed to sell and Purchaser agreed to purchase all of the Warrants and all of the Contingent Warrants for the amount equal to the difference between the merger consideration of US$.70 per share (or such higher price per share in the event the Merger Agreement is amended to provide for a higher merger consideration per share) and the respective exercise price per share under the respective warrant agreements for the Warrants and the Contingent Warrants, multiplied by the number of shares subject to the Warrants and the Contingent Warrants.

     In addition, the Wynnchurch Parties agreed (i) to deliver to Purchaser immediately prior to the closing of the Merger all of Notes in exchange for the payment by Purchaser of the principal balance outstanding plus accrued and unpaid interest as of the effective date of the Merger, (ii) to cooperate with Purchaser and Subsidiary to consummate the Merger in accordance with the Merger Agreement and (iii) to vote all shares of common stock owned by the Wynnchurch Parties as a result of the exercise of any of the Warrants or Contingent Warrants or the conversion of any of the Notes in favor of the Merger.

     Pursuant to the Lockup Agreement, the Wynnchurch Parties have further agreed to consent to the Merger, solely for purposes of the investment documents between various Wynnchurch entities and the Issuer, such consent being expressly conditioned upon and subject to (i) consummation (concurrent with consummation of the Merger) of the transactions contemplated by the Lockup Agreement, (ii) payment in full by the Issuer of all amounts owed to the Wynnchurch Parties pursuant to the investment documents between various Wynnchurch entities and the Issuer (including without limitation, all guaranty fees) and (iii) delivery of written documents terminating the financing commitments of the Wynnchurch Parties to the Issuer (in form and substance satisfactory to the Wynnchurch Parties) including a letter from the Issuer terminating the Wynnchurch Parties’ commitments to provide additional funding and delivery of a release (in form and substance satisfactory to the Wynnchurch Parties, as applicable) of all guaranties previously provided by the Wynnchurch Parties in connection with indebtedness of the Issuer and its subsidiaries, including a release by Fleet Capital Corporation of all obligations of the Wynnchurch Parties under the Guaranty Agreement, dated April 14, 2003, among the Issuer, Wynnchurch US, Wynnchurch Canada and Fleet Capital Corporation, as amended.

Table of Contents

     Pursuant to the Lockup Agreement, the Wynnchurch Parties have agreed that until the earlier to occur of (i) such date and time as the Merger shall become effective in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Merger Agreement and (ii) such date and time as the Merger Agreement shall be terminated in accordance with the termination provisions of said Merger Agreement, they will not sell or otherwise dispose of any of the securities of the Issuer or take any action to exercise their remedies or enforce their rights with respect to any existing or future event of default under the investment documents between the various Wynnchurch entities and the Issuer.

ITEM 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER

Item 5 is hereby amended and restated as follows:

     Reference is made to Rows 7-11 and 13 (including the footnotes thereto) of each of the cover pages of this Amendment No. 9 to Schedule 13D, which Rows are incorporated by reference herein. Each of the calculations in this Item 5 is based on 34,783,971 shares of Issuer’s common stock outstanding, which is computed by adding (i) 17,117,304 shares of Issuer’s common stock outstanding as of April 27, 2004, as disclosed on Issuer’s Form 10-K/A filed with the SEC on April 28, 2004, and (ii) 17,666,667 shares of common stock, in the aggregate, issuable upon (a) full exercise of the Warrants and Contingent Warrants and (b) full conversion of the Notes (as each such term is defined herein). Each of the calculations in this Item 5 assumes the full exercise of the Warrants held by Wynnchurch US and Wynnchurch Canada into 10,000,000 Shares (which Warrants are currently exercisable or exercisable within sixty days of the date hereof), the full conversion of the Notes held by Wynnchurch US and Wynnchurch Canada into 6,666,667 Shares, and the exercise of the Contingent Warrants held by Wynnchurch US and Wynnchurch Canada into 1,000,000 Shares (which Contingent Warrants are not currently exercisable, but may become exercisable within sixty days of the date hereof). Statements regarding power to vote and dispose of the Shares assume that the Warrants and Contingent Warrants have been exercised and the Notes converted, and further assumes that the Stanojev Warrant has not been exercised (which would decrease the beneficial ownership of the Reporting Persons herein). These calculations also exclude any senior subordinated convertible promissory notes which may be issued by the Issuer upon funding of the Guaranty.

     Each of Wynnchurch Partners, L.P., Wynnchurch Management, Inc., Wynnchurch Partners Canada, L.P. and Wynnchurch GP Canada, Inc. may be deemed a member of a “group” within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Act, or Rule 13d-5 promulgated under the Act with one or more of the other Reporting Persons. Although Wynnchurch Partners, L.P., Wynnchurch Management, Inc., Wynnchurch Partners Canada, L.P. and Wynnchurch GP Canada, Inc. are reporting such securities as if they were members of a “group,” the filing of this Amendment No. 9 to Schedule 13D shall not be construed as an admission by any such Reporting Person that it is a beneficial owner of any securities covered hereby.

ITEM 6. CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERSTANDINGS OR RELATIONSHIPS WITH RESPECT TO SECURITIES OF ISSUER

     See disclosure included under Item 4 above.

ITEM 7. MATERIALS TO BE FILED AS EXHIBITS

Item 7 is hereby amended by inserting the following new exhibits:
