Workplace Services Domain Architect

The Digital Workplace has moved front and centre to ensure organisational productivity and collaboration especially since the Covid pandemic in 2020. Part of this is managing and ensuring secure hardware distribution, setup and management to a workforce working in a hybrid fashion.
