| Key services | Our Key services provide a help desk staffed with IT professionals Monday-Friday from 8:00 AM - 6:00 PM to provide remote support supplemented with deskside support as needed. Key services provide the IT support services commonly required across Penn. All clients receive consistent, quality, end-user support through Key services. |
| Extended services | Extended services are designed for departments requiring extended service coverage, regularly scheduled on-site office hours, and specialty project work such as technology needs assessment for new facility spaces, AV support services, and assistance with campus initiatives and compliance requirement. This service provides custom staffing options, including the availability of subject matter experts. |
| Leadership services | With the understanding that there are functions critical to the operations of the University, Leadership services provide additional attention and support to those who oversee the University’s academic and business operations. This provides access to IT resources to address these requirements such as full-day support for special events and other support for critical functions of the University. |
| Field & project services | HireIT can provide ad-hoc, as-needed support for services not included in clients’ service tiers. Services include staff augmentation, special event support, and extended project work such as technology needs assessment for new facility spaces, AV support services, and assistance with campus initiatives and compliance requirements. Fees are hourly with additional options available for special engagements. |
| Certified Desktop | HireIT’s new Certified Desktop tier provides commodity services to Schools and Centers with an existing local IT infrastructure and support. Services include software, operating systems, driver updates, encryption key management, and custom software fixlet creation for IBM Endpoint Manager (Bigfix). Certified Desktop ensures a standard operating baseline for machines, affording LSPs time to focus on providing IT support tailored to their own specialized environments. |
HireIT can provide ad-hoc, as-needed support for services not included in clients’ service tiers, as well as other University clients who require supplemental IT services.
