IT Service Management Enhancement

The implementation of the TeamDynamix IT service management tool will lead to improved customer service, with greater transparency and more advanced management of IT services. The project introduces a new client hub, the Technology Help Center, for campus users to request services or report issues. It also allows IT employees to manage those requests more efficiently, as well as to manage equipment, solve large-scale issues and report on upgrades and changes that affect campus users. The project is expected to improve business processes, enhance reporting capabilities, and allow more customization to meet unique needs of 51社区.

Key milestones and descriptions of each module are provided below. Additional information for technicians can be found under TeamDynamix Technician Training and TeamDynamix Documentation.
