Welcome to an exciting brand new year!
For many it is a time for new resolutions and goals. As you make your New Year resolutions and goals, we at the IT Department have one resolution - Customer First! To better serve you and communicate our services, the IT Department will periodically send out an IT Digest to you, our valued customer. In this first release of the IT Digest we are excited to announce that virtual computer laboratories are now available, next generation wireless rollout is advancing at a faster pace, full disk encryption software to protect sensitive data exposure on laptops and desktops is available, and we have expanded our Help Desk coverage and implemented an automated call back feature to deal with high call volumes. For the IT Department to achieve its resolution, we are asking for your input and comments/feedback on how we are doing by completing a brief survey at the bottom of this IT Digest.
