About Service Desk
The Service Desk plays an important role in customer support. It not only handles incidents, problems and changes via email, telephone support or routing and escalation to other support areas; it provides customers with a central point of contact to the Office of Information Technology (OIT) department. A Service Desk objective is to ensure that the right person can be located to assist with issues, requests and information.
The Service Desk supports a wide range of customers. These include our students, faculty, staff and individuals outside the college – prospective students, visitors, contractors, etc. To provide the best service, the Service Desk provides multiple channels of communication – via email, telephone, web request forms, and in the future, a self-service portal.
The Georgia Perimeter College (GPC) Service operates to provide a high quality of service and technical support to our customers. Mapping to the college wide goals of:
- Effectively using industry standards and tools to provide problem determination and resolution to our customers. (Quality Service)
- Working closely with other OIT functional areas in determining the most effective and efficient solutions for technical issues identified by our customers, and communicating information promptly and clearly. (Continuous Improvement)
