ICT SUPPORT
SERVICES
BACKGROUND
The ASEAN Foundation was established in December 1997 by ASEAN Foreign Ministers in
fulfillment of the decision of the ASEAN Leaders. It is a non-profit ASEAN body
under the ASEAN Charter and is mandated to promote greater awareness of ASEAN
and greater interaction among the peoples of ASEAN, as well as their wider
participation in ASEAN activities.
The ASEAN Foundation is located in Jakarta, Indonesia.
We have a network operations center (NOC) consisting of six servers that
we host in our office. The ICT equipment consists of 2 HP laptops and 35 desktops
and 7 printers and WiFi networks. In
terms of software, commercial application such as MS Office, Bitdefender anti-virus
and Skype are main applications. Backup is done monthly and stored on the
server and an external hard disk drive. The
ASEAN Foundation has 15 users plus the ICT training room that use the backbone
infrastructure for which ICT support is needed.
This is further depicted in the network diagram.
GENERAL OBJECTIVE
The ASEAN Foundation seeks to outsource
its ICT support services mainly consisting of help desk support. Currently, the
ASEAN Foundation supports its own email server and its website is hosted on its
server. Having a reliable internet connection and availability of connectivity
is of critical importance to the proper operation of the organisation.
Under the supervision of the Head of Finance and Administration and with guidance from the
Executive Director, the support services will consist of help desk support and
availability of such support during the office working hours from 08:30 to
16:30. A dedicated hotline should also be provided and available after office
hours.
The technician assigned should be
available on request for providing trouble shooting services. Troubleshooting
can be provided via phone or onsite depending on the nature of the request. In
case of onsite intervention is required, the technician should be onsite the
soonest possible.
Apart from the troubleshooting
problems, the technician is required to come onsite, on a monthly basis for the
verification of backup server data and to perform maintenance of the system,
checking updated anti-virus and deployment on all M/Cs, adding users to
AD/installation of software and equipment as requested. The technician should provide interventions
reports for all onsite support provided.
The technician should also make recommendation
