New Online Service Desk Available

Posted on by

Technology Services has a new way for the campus community to submit and track technology service requests!

In addition to the usual contact methods (253.879.8585, servicedesk@pugetsound.edu, or by visiting the Tech Center in Collins Memorial Library), campus members can now visit our new Online Service Desk to submit requests for technology support, check the current status of requests, and provide feedback on campus technology topics.

    TS will add more features to the Online Service Desk in the coming months, including a “knowledge base” of self-help articles to address common technology questions. The implementation of an automatic inventory of university-owned computers will facilitate better management of the computer replacement cycle and deployment of software updates.

    For more information, contact the Technology Service Desk using any of the methods listed above!

    With this move, Technology Services is now able to provide the campus community with a “one-stop shop” for technology assistance. In addition to the Service Desk, the Tech Center houses Educational Technology, Media Services, and the Digital Media Computer Lab, all under the leadership of Cindy Riche.

    New Service Desk System Goes Live!

    Posted on by

    Technology Services is pleased to announce the deployment of the KACE Management Appliance, Dell’s innovative new service desk system. As of 8:00 this morning, TS began using KACE to manage Service Desk ticket activity.

    For now, changes in the ticketing system will not be apparent to users contacting the Service Desk for assistance. But in the coming weeks and months, the Service Desk will roll out an exciting array of new and expanded services using KACE. These include:

    • A portal for users to track tickets and submit service requests via the Web (in addition to the current phone and e-mail options)
    • Greatly improved tracking of university computers and printers so TS can better manage replacements and repairs
    • Quicker, more efficient deployment of software to university computers and for use by faculty and staff
    • A dashboard with service announcements and a searchable knowledge base of self-help articles for users
    • Enhanced power management capabilities so the university can conserve energy and promote sustainability in the use of technology resources

    For more information, please contact the Service Desk at 253.879.8585 or servicedesk@pugetsound.edu.
