The new helpdesk launches on 2 September
Your new IT Helpdesk is live
The University has gone live with a new IT Helpdesk and self-serve portal for University staff, from Monday 2 September.
All requests or faults are now being triaged, investigated and resolved by the new IT Helpdesk meaning that you no longer need to log an enquiry with SID.
What’s different?
- You now raise a request or fault via the self-serve portal
- There is a new dedicated team of specialists ready to provide help, guidance and advice when something isn’t working as expected or you need something new
- Quicker resolution times. For your everyday queries, resolution times reduced from weeks to days
- We’ll triage your faults to ensure that the most critical get the attention they need.
What’s the same?
- The hours of service are still 9:00 to 17:00. Out of hours support also remains unchanged
- The range of services provided by Exeter IT remain the same
- Students will still raise queries with SID for University of Exeter IT issues.
What’s coming later?
- Improved prioritisation of faults
- A service catalogue for you to order new software or hardware
- Increased visibility. You will be able to track the status of their request or fault
- We’re introducing a self-serve knowledge bank so that you will be able to search for simple resolutions before raising a fault
- You will be able to access the self-serve portal via the iExeter app.
The new self-service portal is available online and by searching IT Helpdesk on the webpage.
