Your local IT Officer • Support ‘beyond the front door’ • Key relationship for you and us • We can support them but not manage them • We act as a second line of support for them not a replacement
Aims of today: * Show you the range of services we offer which are available to you to use, some free at the point of use, some are chargeable * Allow you to consider if any of these shared services would be of use to you
What you will come away with • “I knew all that and we (including your IT Officer) are not missing anything” • “Some of that is new to me and I will talk to my IT Officer about whether we could use it” • “Nearly all of this is new to me ...”
