  • support mobile devices under MDM enrollment (iOS/Android), including email, MFA, and app configuration
  • log every client interaction as a ticket in the PSA/ticketing platform
  • create tickets with accurate categorization and clear issue summaries
  • maintain ticket hygiene throughout the lifecycle, keeping status, ownership, and next-action fields current at all times
  • record all troubleshooting steps, findings, and time entries in real time
  • provide timely, professional client communication within SLA-defined intervals
  • escalate stalled or out-of-scope tickets promptly with a full history
