The Liaison team will be the strategic link between us and your departments, understanding your needs, and providing a high level, 2-way communications channel. User Technology will give day to day support for all user facing equipment - both computing and AV

I just don't think I know what this means. Is there a non-strategic link I can use? Why don't they just link? What is a "high level, 2-way communications channel"? Does that mean there's not going to be an answer phone all the time? Do I want to know about "user facing equipment"? What happens if I turn it around? All my AV problems involve looking at the back of the machine at the wires.

Bloody hell. They need some kind of language abuse SWAT team to abseil down the building, smash through the windows and take them down in a hail of semi-automatic dictionaries.

I'm delighted that they will be 'understanding your needs'. Are they planning to do anything about them or will they just understand them for you?

What's the problem? It's normal to use this communikating style in the Civil Service.

And I always understand exactly what our policy people are expecting of us: we are banning computers next week just in case people write 'dangerous things' (but oddly 'dangerous things' does not appear to be defined?).
