This month I have been giving a new project the network overview portal, this project is to audit the current Data Centre collect and consolidate network information such as IP address, server name & maintenance contract and create an interactive area to display live network information. The start of this project I collected all the relevant data and stored it in an excel spreadsheet making the spreadsheet interactive with a little code, collecting the information is time consuming so this will be an ongoing project, once completed I can start looking at how to display all the live information in one easy to use area.

I am still going through the iso security project at the moment I have just managed to set the project up in a Microsoft project plan and have some meetings with the iT Director to organise what can be done. This is still an ongoing project and takes a low priority as it does not need to be completed when I am here my main responsibility is to set the project up so someone else can come in and take over it easily.

15 – 17 September 2008 – ITIL (Information Technology Infrastructure Library) this was a 3 days training course with an exam at the end of it, I completed the training course and passed the exam with 85%
