          You  might  know  them  as  the
          “admins” or simply...
              The problem solvers

          They  are  mainly  responsible  for
          providing  timely  and  efficient  tech-
          nical  support  to  ITG’s  employees in
          all  branches,  and  for  the  effective
          provisioning,  installation/  configura-
          tion, operation, and maintenance of
          systems hardware and software and
          related  infrastructure.  Also,  they in-

          standards  while  enabling  staff  to
          perform their job functions, and as-

          to  projects.  In  addition  to  perform-
          ing  regular  system  and  security
          monitoring  and  backup  operations,
          among many other tasks.

          As a result, the team faces a bunch
          of  challenges  daily.  They’d  spend
          days,  and  sometimes  nights,  work-
          ing nonstop to find a solution to an
          issue that, in most cases, can’t wait.
