Qi Jingtao, Chen Yanan and Wu Hongwei didn't go to the conference room, just three of them, and they didn't hold any confidential meetings, so they sat around the sofa in the office to receive visitors and held a small meeting of the hardware group.

"Sister Chen, Xiao Wu, the work responsibilities of the three of us will be clearer in the future. It turns out that the work at hand remains the same, and Sister Chen will spend more energy on the internal business of the information center, and the internal work plan management, attendance management, document management, office supplies management, and housekeeping management within the department will continue to be carried out by Sister Chen,...... Qi Jingtao began to clarify the work responsibilities of individuals within the group and assign work, which was originally the work content that the individual was responsible for, and there was no room for adjustment, but the supervision responsibilities were delegated to the hands of the business team leader, and the business team leader was responsible for the director of the information center, which needed to be emphasized again.

"In the future, our team will also be responsible for the preliminary review of the plan management of computer equipment. I have seen the materials that Director Liu got back for this business, and our task in this link is to receive the computer equipment of various departments of the group, as well as the required spare parts and consumables procurement demand declaration plan. We will summarize, preliminarily review, and write down the preliminary review suggestions, and then report to the group for approval once every half a month.

Personally, I understand that the focus of our hardware management team is on the management of hardware devices. We have been engaged in information construction for so many years, and the computer hardware equipment has been distributed to all departments of the group, and the computer equipment is of high value, and the equipment department is managed as a fixed asset.

As a full-time functional department, our information center must follow up on the computers and computer supporting equipment within the group, establish our own equipment ledger, and carry out professional management. Otherwise, how many sets of computer equipment are there in the group, the brand, specification and model, basic configuration, service life, equipment performance, current operating status, and the use of systems, departments, and users of each set of computer equipment...... If these basic information are not clear, it will be impossible for us to complete the preliminary review of the procurement plan. When the time comes, those who should not be approved will not be approved, and those who should not be approved will not be scolded to death by the business department...... , that's all for the general situation, Sister Chen, Xiao Wu, talk about your views. ”

Qi Jingtao finished telling his work arrangement, lit a cigarette and smoked and waited for the reaction of the members of his business group.

Chen Yanan seems to be quite satisfied with the lack of major adjustments and changes in the work he is responsible for, and his expression has changed from nervousness at the beginning to relief now. After nearly half a year of upgrading the version of the operating system, several sets of operating systems that she was originally responsible for maintaining have been classified and merged into larger system software.

She herself was not interested and unwilling to take on the continued development of the new system. She now has no business tasks of system maintenance at all, and has become more and more detached from her own job as a programmer to the role of office clerk.

In this regard, after Director Liu Zheng talked to her several times, he had no choice but to hand over the clerical work within the information center to her. Now, her business responsibilities are classified into the hardware management group, and Qi Jingtao can only arrange it like this. Chen Yanan is classified into the hardware group, in a sense, the hardware group has become the role of the office of the information center, and the miscellaneous daily business of the information center will naturally be classified into the hardware group. Qi Jingtao is more like the office director of the information center. This change made Qi Jingtao a little distressed, he didn't know if it would affect his future technical route, whether it would affect the task of helping Ming Cheng Daoist, wait until he went back to communicate with Lao Qi!

Wu Hongwei worked a year later than Qi Jingtao and was also an undergraduate student majoring in computer science. His current job is to assist Huang Yunshen, Zhang Hong, and Li Li in the daily maintenance of the system, which is very similar to Qi Jingtao's original job. When there are new projects and new system development and design, they can't stand it, and they don't have their own business segments, so they have to assist the backbone of the business that can withstand it. Wu Hongwei's current work seems to be very busy, very important, and very busy, but in fact, there is no substantive technical business, and more time is spent on equipment maintenance work in the business department. Now that he is in the hardware management group, he seems to be relieved that he has no opinion on arranging him to be mainly responsible for the daily management of the equipment.

Chen Yanan drank saliva, looked up at Qi Jingtao and said calmly: "Qi Gong, my work is what I used to do, and it is all the daily affairs within the department. The preliminary review of the newly added computer equipment plan is divided into three steps, and I am responsible for collecting and sorting out the procurement plan reported by each department, and the three of us are responsible for going to the site to investigate the demand situation according to the time on the job.

"This, for the time being, is not arranged, and it will be carried out in the original way. We took on this task suddenly, and it is best not to act rashly without investigating it clearly. I plan to do an investigation first, and after Xiao Wu has established a file on computer equipment, we will sort out an investigation report and submit it to the information center for discussion and implementation.

Let me start with my personal opinion. I think that the current selection of computer equipment of the group company is too arbitrary, look at the computer equipment that has been put into use in the group company, we have some brands on the market. The business departments with so many brands and models of computer equipment are very troublesome to use and maintain, and the disorganized people artificially increase the difficulty of maintenance, and also affect the corporate image.

My suggestion is that for computer equipment, the initial screening should not exceed five alternative brands, preferably two brands of desktops and servers, and three brands of laptops. Printers, copiers, fax machines, UPS power supplies and other related equipment, preliminary screening of no more than three standby brands. In the future, when we first review the equipment procurement plan, we will not specify a specific brand in the procurement plan, but only give professional and specific configuration requirements and shape requirements according to the actual business needs of the application department, and estimate the general procurement budget.

We don't care which of the alternative brands the material company ultimately procures, that is not something we should interfere with, and we can't interfere with. Qi Jingtao said his initial idea.

"Can't you unify into one brand? One brand is easier to maintain and repair, and it is easier to manage. Wu Hongwei asked.

"From the perspective of our information center technology management, unifying into one brand is of course the most ideal, simple and trouble-free. However, it does not conform to the bidding principle of the material company, and it is easy to be artificially controlled by the equipment supplier, which is not conducive to price competition and reduces procurement costs. This is a matter of material procurement principles, and we should not violate it. Qi Jingtao said lightly. He himself is also inclined to this management style, and there is no problem of price control of equipment suppliers if it is really controlled. However, this is a state-owned enterprise, not his personal private enterprise. There are too many departments and personnel in the material procurement process, so we can only adopt the mode of mutual supervision to prevent the personal behavior of internal personnel from engaging in personal fraud.

"So, what are the equipment selection criteria?" Wu Hongwei continued to ask.

"The modernization of computer equipment is very lumpy. The latest and most advanced models of computers appeared on the market, and the initial equipment prices were very expensive, which was called seafood prices in the industry. For the latest computer equipment of our group company, I suggest that we generally do not consider buying the latest and most configured equipment on the market. At most, you can buy the ones that went on the market half a year ago, and in half a year, the price of computer equipment has dropped very much.

We're all computer professionals, and you all know that. As you know, except for a small number of computer equipment with special work needs that need to be configured in advance, the hardware requirements of computers are actually very ordinary. The newly purchased computer equipment can meet the needs of business use, and there is no need to be too advanced in configuration. I suggest that the selection should be based on a principle, not falling behind for three years, and not being eliminated for five years, what do you think?" Qi Jingtao put forward his own views and suggestions based on his own experience.

"How can this principle be determined?" asked Cheng Yanan as he recorded.
