- Ticketing & Documentation: Use ConnectWise PSA to log issues, track progress, and document resolutions. Prioritise and escalate tickets to meet SLAs.
- System Monitoring: Use tools like NinjaOne RMM to monitor client systems, patch devices, check backups, and ensure security protocols are in place.
- Project Support: Assist with IT projects including client onboarding, Office 365 migrations, network installations, and cybersecurity enhancements.
