They are expected to interface directly with the relevant Account Service Manager/Account Delivery Manager/Delivery Leads to discuss and resolved any issues.

Furthermore, the Systems Administrators are responsible for ensuring Engineering and Project activity does not introduce new risk into the environment.

The Systems Administrator is a "hands-on" delivery role, involved in the day-to-day operation of the client, and typically participating in both the change execution and Rapid-Response Teams. The SMEs also provide support for the other Leads, particularly where a deep understanding of the technology or its deployment within the customer environment is required. For instance, the SME may be involved in the evaluation of change implementation, verification and backout plans, or interfacing with vendors for root-cause analysis.
