Overview
On-site Support
Core consultants are available to provide on-site support to faculty members who currently do not have IT support. All consulting services are provided through the Technology Help Desk and tracked in the call tracking database. Faculty and staff members who have technical questions or problems should contact the Technology Help Desk at 412-624-HELP (4357).
Consulting services are available to all faculty and staff at their University office location between 8:30 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. weekdays. Assistance is provided for troubleshooting hardware, operating system, supported software, and network problems. Ongoing problems, special projects, and departmental requests are referred to the onsite consulting program for a needs analysis and solution recommendation.
If on-site support is needed, a core consultant will contact the faculty member to schedule an appointment. If departments require dedicated, full-time or part-time support for their staff, Pitt Information Technology's Departmental Contracts program can provide assistance.
