  9. Build a comprehensive internal wiki with technical documentation, manuals and ICT policies.
  10. Collaborate together with the other members of the ICT team (i.e. Project Managers, Solutions Architects, Support Engineers) on different ICT solutions, projects, changes, incidents and problems.
  11. Continuously improve the way of working within the ICT department.
  12. Identify problematic areas and propose strategic solutions in time.
