This document outlines the responsibilities and achievements of an IT leader with oversight of desktop engineering and support services. Key responsibilities include improving support efficiency through managed services, enhancing the end user experience through automation and standards, and security initiatives. Some notable achievements include designing and implementing a zero-touch imaging solution that won an innovation award and saved over $500,000 annually, upgrading over 8,600 PCs to Windows 7 on time and on budget, and rationalizing the technology refresh program to extend the refresh cycle by 3 years saving $2.6 million.
