Client Services acts as the central point of contact for most technical support needs of the VCS Community. Our clients consist of:
- Teachers and staff: Needing assistance with various software, hardware, and routine network issues.
- Students: Requiring support with school-issued devices and accessing educational technology tools.
- Families : Seeking technical support for learning technologies for their students and access to student information systems (Parent Portal).
Client Services is comprised of three teams, each serving a specific function:
1. Help Desk Team:
- Serves as the first point of contact for all technology-related inquiries.
- Fields phone calls, emails, and technical support tickets from clients.
- Troubleshoots basic issues like password resets, software installation, account provisioning, systems access, and network connectivity problems.
- Escalates complex issues to the appropriate team within Client Services or other ITS Departments.
2. Field Services Team:
- On site technicians stationed at schools address technical support request tickets.
- Installs, configures, and troubleshoots hardware and software in classrooms, labs, and workstations.
- Deploys new replacement hardware to staff and students on a five-year schedule.
- Maintains and updates technology infrastructure within schools, ensuring smooth operations.
3. Repairs and Logistics Team:
- Diagnoses and repairs faulty hardware like laptops, tablets, and other electronic devices.
- Maintains a spare parts inventory for quick repairs.
