I have recently assumed the position of Advanced Workstation consultant for the UCLA campus. What that means is that I will be interfacing with departmental reps all over campus to help answer their technical questions, help them make purchase decisions and help them interface with other departments on campus to avoid redundant work. I will also be negotiating and administering software site licenses. The class of machines I will be dealing with are single-user advanced workstations such as Sun, Apollo, IBM-RT, DEC Microvax and HP workstations. What I want to know is whether any of your campuses have a similar centralized service for advanced workstations. Since this is a new position at UCLA, I have the opportunity to fashion the consulting service in any manner that seems fit to me. I would like to hear all suggestions about what types of consulting services seem to be the most needed, efficient and appreciated. Also, if you could tell me the name and phone number or email address of anyone at your campus in a position similar to mine, I would enjoy contacting them to share experiences. Thanks in advance!
