Appraise your technology function
The Technology FE role will focus on developing a plan for your technology infrastructure.
Workstations, servers, network, and security will be considered. The goal is to establish a technology plan that maps out software and hardware architecture for your business, along with policies, procedures, and budgetary requirements.
The Fraction required for your business is determined by the development stage of the technology function at your business, and the number of computers present at your location. For the determination, a server counts as 5 computers.
