You have spent a considerable portion of your time troubleshooting and analyzing the organization’s computer network to keep it running smoothly.

In addition to the standard network, the site must support live video teleconferencing calls with employees based at the other sites, as well as reliably send print jobs to billboard printers located in the satellite office in Austin.
