Hi Simon

I currently work for an IT Outsource company in Bellville in the T3 Support team, but I'm moving to the SOC Operations team as the techincal lead. SOC = Systems Operations Center. This team monitors server alerts for our customers 24/7/365 and I need to ensure that these guys can perform as much fixing of the systems before handing it over to the next team.
and you?

I'm currently Team Lead - Business Services for the Business Intelligence unit at MWEB. Essentially a glorified Business Analyst. Will be moving to Vodacom next week as Lead Data Modeller and Business Analyst for their new Data Warehouse
