Citywide IT Services: Citywide Service Desk

The CityWide Service Desk is the single point of contact for all City agencies to report IT incidents, make requests and check ticket status.

As part of Executive Order 140 and the CITIServ Program, the CityWide Service Desk has started on-boarding City agencies' help desks into DoITT's shared environment to create a consolidated and truly "citywide" service desk. The consolidation of service desks will not only allow the City to achieve economies of scale, but also allow issues to be resolved more efficiently and effectively through the centralization of IT support expertise and the use of state-of-the-art ticketing and tracking tools.

All services provided by the Service Desk are offered 24x7. The service offering are:
