Change was so constant during the 2004 refinancing boom that two dedicated, full-time desktop support staffers were needed to handle the 9.3 desktop moves and 1.3 adds taking place on an average day, says Pat Delany, manager of desktop support.

Today, desktop moves require little IT attention, because of a tech-refresh project and a redeisgned client environment.
