2. Standardize Internal Usage of IT Systems
   Promote consistency in how software and IT systems are used across departments through clearly defined processes and protocols.
3. Minimize Downtime and Support Requests
   Reduce the number of support tickets by empowering users to troubleshoot basic issues independently using step-by-step guides.
