We are also working on consolidation within each data center as our IT strategy changes. I am also responsible for the Build Document used for new system deployments. We redesigned the document last year and have recently created a new process for implementation which uses our Service Management system. This has greatly reduced the time required to process this document by automating the workflow required.
