Called ServiceCentral, the goals of the new portal are to:
- Simplify how you get support from IT
- Allow you to see what's happening with your request online
- Provide you with faster responses to issues and requests
- Provide a host of other capabilities that will improve support districtwide
All Los Rios IT will be trained to receive and manage customer requests in ServiceCentral to provide greater transparency and efficiency. The anticipated go-live is late Spring. Be on the lookout for additional announcements as we get closer to launch or visit our ServiceCentral page for the most up-to-date information.
