Documentation
As an integral part of the ongoing IT work, we keep records of your IT to support the planning and upgrades (as well as recommendations for such) and keeping track of software licenses. We also maintain and update documents and graphs for the office floor plan, detailing the location of machines, users and networking points etc.
