After unit representatives have signed the Certified Desktop Memorandum of Understanding, members of the CIT Desktop Engineering team will work with unit technical support providers to ensure that the unit IT environment and the Certified Desktop service are configured to be compatible. CIT Desktop Engineering will then gather information necessary to develop a short plan of action for deployment of the Certified Desktop component services. This is your "onboarding plan."

The end result of the process is that the IT staff responsible for your unit will be able to administer the component services of the Certified Desktop suite successfully to meet the agreed-upon security goals for your unit’s workstations.
