Technology Support Centers

As part of Changing for Excellence, KU Information Technology developed a new model for technology support on campus. The Technology Support Center (TSC) model was created to provide better service to our customers, leverage the knowledge and skills of support teams, provide professional growth opportunities for support staff and contribute cost savings toward Bold Aspirations priorities.

The Technology Support Center model is a hybrid between centralized and decentralized support models. This hybrid model is based on:

• Centrally managed support teams that are located in close proximity to the customers they serve
• A tiered structure that gives frontline support staff the ability to escalate particularly difficult service issues
• Shared decision-making between unit leader and KU IT to meet customer needs
