System Consultant
Longview Technologies at Sasol
October 2022-Current
Computer refresh project. Image Dell laptops, desktops and tablets with corporate image. Make sure all hardware is installed and operational. Install corporate software on systems. Set appointments with users and schedule them to come in for data transfer and setup. Do actual data transfer to user's satisfaction while looking for any software not installed via SCCM Software Center so it can be added to repository. Some users at Tucson office mail and schedule appoints to do data transfer for them via TeamViewer. Go onsite to another Houston plant and schedule users there for their setups. Do follow up with users to make sure they were happy with new system. Normally, I work with a tech onsite to do these, but this company told me where the equipment was and I had to develop processes to image equipment, contact, schedule, perform setups and follow ups.
