Networks are the backbone of all companies and, therefore, require the best care that an enterprise can provide. The role of IT staff in this area is to plan, direct, coordinate, and supervise all activities related to installation and connectivity of computer and network systems to ensure their stable operation. This includes developing, configuring, maintaining, supporting, and optimizing all new and existing network hardware, software and communication links. The unique nature of this role requires performance metrics that are highly focused around ongoing network management tasks.
