Be Connected: Stories from our employees at DoIT's Service Desk

This week’s story is from the DoIT Service Desk.

The DoIT Service Desk provides IT support to the majority of our City departments. In response to the COVID-19 public health emergency, the Service Desk team has gone above and beyond coordinating laptop deployments, enabling remote call centers, and providing support to the City’s workforce through the transition to remote work and beginning phases of reopening. 

“The Age Strong Commission needed a remote call center fast, as did many other departments. Liz Rios, Laurie Simonelli Ford, and the rest of their team made this happen,” said Eugenia Soiles of the Age Strong Commission. “They have been amazing to work with, and have shown so much patience working with our employees.”

We are grateful to the Service Desk team for equipping our departments with the tools and resources needed to work from home.
