Technical teams may need involvement for special requirements even when aligned with company standards. Equipment like hardware, software, or services are not always a one size fits all solution.

A customer understands its importance and requires more involvement. Design Desk needs to identify the area of necessity rather than creating a proposal around a specific technology. Accurate identification ensures researched solutions are designed and implemented right the first time. A vCIO will multi-thread and work with many clients at any time. Design Desk must learn to meet deadlines from priorities handed down by the vCIO. This requires a non-linear work method and the ability to work on many proposals simultaneously. Time requirements to complete each step must be provided in the detailed work plan. Creation of proposal templates to ensure proposals can be reused with slight customization. Ability to use PSA and CRM systems to document time spent on the design process and review client support history to ensure accurate solutions are created for customers. Due to the non-linear work method required, the Design Desk Engineer must be able to: Set a start and end date on your best completion time estimation. Block off your calendar to be dedicated to a particular proposal. Avoid interruptions to meet deadlines. Do not overpromise on delivery dates. Document internal processes and procedures to maintain consistent results and efficiencies, including creating network diagrams, technical process documentation, and checklists. Effectively communicate with clients and manage their expectations, supporting the project coordinator/manager. Maintain industry product knowledge through training and certification programs.
