Help Desk
The IT (Information Technology) Services Help Desk provides a single point of contact for reporting and tracking, simplifying the reporting and resolution process. Help Desk staff can prioritize those issues which need immediate response. Because of their experience, Help Desk staff can resolve issues more quickly than less experienced agency staff. For those calls that cannot be resolved at the Help Desk level, the ticket will be routed to the systems support staff who will follow-up until a satisfactory resolution completed.
