How to build Linux support department in a company?

Hello,

First of all, thanks to whoever will help me in advance.

Second, my question is that I got a new job offer from a company as a Team Leader in Linux Administration Department, I'm OK with that but the issue is that I've been asked to re-create the department from scratch that consists of a new vision, system for support, ticketing, project management, employees rating, and services that we will provide.

I need to hear your ideas on how to start building this department, what do I need? and what to read to enrich my knowledge regarding this?

The company gave me an unlimited budget to work with.

Department: Linux System Management, Administration, Monitoring, Backup, Virtual Machines and Storage.

Hope that you can enlighten me with some ideas/softwares that can help.

Best regards,

@Paul Solovyovsky, thanks for your comment, I guess I will check some of the reliable consulting companies in the market.

@John Tsioumpris, actually I've more than 11 years experience in Linux administration and management, so I guess I've the knowledge to do so.
