We have asked to come up with a group name to represent us.

We are a group of computer technicians (25 people) and we work for the County Council.

Our work involves hardware and software support, LANS. We suport around 4000 machines and around 500 off-site dept, ie Libraries, Social Secvices, etc.

The name should be meaningful to our group and nothing CHEESY . It has to be sensible as it is for the council.

Any suggestions.

A bit wacky perhaps - but how about 'IT Support' ?

If even that's not out there enough, how about BSS - Business Systems Support. (Not the Bull*** Society of course)

LOL @ Bob.
How about using the nickname our IT support people are called.
"bunch of fooking useless workshy *******!!!"
For some reason this needs to be screamed at the top of your voice.

astraboy.
P.S. Serious suggestion: keep it normal, otherwise people will just rip the ****.

'The group of computer technicians who work for the County Council and whos work involves hardware and software support, LANS, supporting around 4000 machines and around 500 off-site dept, ie Libraries, Social Secvices, etc.'


You must admit it covers the brief

Had a similar job before and we we're titled "Data Control\Systems Engineers". I thought it had a nice ring to it. Looked good on a CV too

Not what you are looking for, but it makes me laught...

RIMMER: Erm, I think we're all beginning to lose sight of the real issue here, which is: what are we going to call ourselves? Erm, and I think it comes down to a choice between "The League Against Salivating Monsters" or, my own personal preference, which is "The Committee for the Liberation and Integration of Terrifying Organisms and their Rehabilitation Into Society." Erm, one drawback with that -- the abbreviation is "CLITORIS."

SOULADH's

Sense of Urgency Like a Dead Hedgehog.

Never known an IT guy to miss a lunchbreak even though I desperately need a fix to read an e-mail that I urgently need to action to help secure the future of our company, and thereby his salary.

Having said that, they respond better to charm (i.e mostly slim females) and I followed their lead (minus the skirt). I now have no problem with IT. Treat them like royalty not staff, and bob's your uncle!

So TtLR&BYU ?

Also how about C-FIX. LAN Loafers. Network Heroes (cough). Digital Domain. Digital Demons. Hard Drivers. Biactol Boys. Hidden Files. Geeky Gang. Big Byte. Motherboard Mob.

the tongue is in cheek
