Digital Transformation & Innovation

• Support Smart Factory initiatives: IoT, remote diagnostics, and automation dashboards.
• Lead adoption of collaborative tools (e.g., Teams, SharePoint) and knowledge systems.
• Support corporate branding needs — manage website uptime, domain security, and hosting.

IT Budgeting & Governance

• Define IT budgets, track spend vs ROI, and lead negotiations with external vendors.
• Align IT decisions with business and finance teams for cost control and digital efficiency.
