The pc audit took up most of my time as I had to go round the whole of the site and record what computer equipment needed replacing, put the information into a spread sheet and have a meeting with my supervisor to determine what equipment to order, also I completed the user testing of the intelligent white boards this was done by setting up the two different types of white board in our meeting rooms and inviting the team leaders from other departments for a demonstration and basic Q&A once this was done they filled out a comments form and handed back to me from this information I was able to recommend an intelligent white board to my supervisor. The next step was to get quotes for chosen intelligent white board and computer equipment and get approval to purchase them once this was done the order was placed.

Next month is going to be a busy month as we are scheduled to move into our new building in January so a lot of my time will be preparing for the move and making sure everything goes smoothly.
