      From 2018 i have maintained the server based computing infrastructure; delivering virtual desktops and providing applications to ~500 users. This (VDI) infrastructure was running on VMware, Microsoft, Citrix (XenDesktop, Provisioning Services) and Ivanti/RES products (Workspace Control). Starting in 2019 I have built the future workspace based on Windows 10, System Center Endpoint Configuration Manager (SCCM) and Office/Microsoft 365 products. Migration of all users to this new workspace has been finished in 2020. In 2021 we have enrolled ~300 Android devices in Microsoft Intune and started migrating all telephony services from traditional PBX/VOIP to Microsoft Teams and Anywhere365.
