DASA Tech

DASA Technology Services provides strategic, integrated, reliable, and secure technology solutions in alignment with, and support of, the Division of Academic & Student Affairs (DASA) and its strategic goals. DASA Tech is a centralized service that supports all 50 departments, which are a wide array of academic units (providing both academic instruction and support services), student service units (such as health, housing, and career services), and student developmental programming units (such as leadership, and the arts). DASA Tech provides a full complement of services, including daily desktop support, development and support of both custom and vendor applications, and strategic technology budgeting and planning.

The Service Desk Analyst provides technical support to faculty and staff in an effort to minimize the disruption of departmental operations due to a reduction in the availability or quality of IT resources. Technical support is provided with an emphasis on standard procedures, professionalism, team work, customer service, and an understanding of supported departmental operations, priorities, and the services that departments deliver to students. This position fulfills requests for standard IT services, such as event support and loaner equipment deployment. Implements the discrete steps involved in transitioning predefined services into operational status, such as new device deployments. This role contributes to the continuous improvement of Service Desk operations with proactive suggestions, documentation, knowledge sharing, and organizational feedback.

This Service Desk Analyst position is one of five total positions that compose our Service Desk operation, which is led by a Service Desk Manager. These staff are physically embedded within different buildings across campus and support staff, students, spaces and equipment for 50 departments housed in more than 100 buildings located on main campus, Centennial campus, and off-campus. These metrics regarding the size and scope of DASA are mentioned to highlight the fact that each Service Desk Analyst must manage a high volume of tickets for units, for an unusually wide variety of support needs, many of them critical to student well-being and/or in a very fast-paced environments where a quick and accurate response have an impact on very large numbers of students. For example, if the computers used to check-in students at Carmichael Gym are not functioning, very long lines form quickly and hundreds of students may be late for class. If computers at Student Health have problems, medical records cannot be accessed for students needing care.

Service Desk Analysts are expected to develop intimate knowledge of the departmental operations they support and how those departmental operations deliver important services to students. This knowledge will include a wide variety of business and programmatic needs that are delivered with the help of technology, including special hardware (examples include card readers, receipt printers, ID card printers, networked exercise equipment, medical equipment, radio station equipment); and special software (such as membership management software, electronic medical record software); and specialty student labs (examples include the Disability Resource Office testing lab and ROTC flight and naval simulators).

Service Desk Analysts provide in-person support for the majority of requests to not only build relationships with supported departments but to also improve their understanding of individual needs and to deliver excellent service. Service Desk Analysts are expected to share the knowledge they gather to contribute to strategic decision-making processes both at their own operational level but also at the strategic level in DASA Tech.
