I've been working for the same ICT department for over 15 years now, and am currently with the Desktop Team. The role of the
team is to install and support new Telephony and IT
equipment for a large county wide infrastructure base. This includes bringing
new or existing offices onto our wide area
network (WAN) by providing them with their own local area network (LAN) and a
high speed link back to our central backbone, it can also include
more basic jobs such as setting up and installing desktop PC's, laptops and
network printers. I have been involved with the telephony side
of the network being asked to oversee the migration of a number of offices
from older BT Meridian private exchanges (PABX) to newer Siemens Realitis
private exchanges. The aspect that
I like most about my job is the fact that it entails a fair amount of
travelling, which means I am not stuck in an office all day and am able to enjoy
the picturesque Devon scenery as I drive around either in our car or on my
motorbike.
As far as hobbies go my main interests include (in
