The DSE also ensures computers interconnect seamlessly with diverse systems within the company's ecosystem/infrastructure.

Career Pathway Guidelines:
At this point, the DSE has several options depending on their interests and skill set.

Beyond the team organization, the options are to either continue into Infrastructure or Security teams, or if their interests/skills are with applications/software, to move into Application Support.

Management will set a target for a daily resolution rate of tickets and expect an overall customer satisfaction (CSAT) rating of 95%.
Other KPIs to be documented and measured include (but not limited to)
- Incident First Contact Resolution Rate
