Preferred Support Client Knowledgebase
Jeff IT is committed to providing the best possible computing support to the TJU community. One approach, which has been increasingly adopted by universities and other organizations, is the Preferred support model.
Unlike the central IT Help Desk, the distributed model recognizes that technology is too important, pervasive, and complex for any one group to exclusively support. Instead, the central IT support group oversees a federated support program that engages its clients in a variety of collaborative programs.
