Technology Services uses a ticketing system called Rezolve.ai to assist with our incoming calls and emails from customers who need help, as well as managing our ongoing projects. The system is designed to list all incoming tickets and sort them depending on what category of service or assistance is needed. This gives our department the opportunity to organize workloads better, as well as better identify more problematic areas and priorities. For more information or to submit a ticket, visit the Technology Services Ticket Page.
