Rick KremerTech Talks: Where’s my DSP (Distributed Support Provider)?
Wednesday, August 19
3:00—4:00 p.m.
via Zoom

Please join us for a panel discussion with Distributed Support Provider (DSP) managers, DSPs, and Rick Kremer. Rick will lead an insightful look into the Faculty and Staff Desktop Support service offering. We will discuss the four distinct operating models which govern us, where DSPs sit, the wide array of support services they provide, and most importantly, the value DSPs provide as the face of IT to other members of the Yale community.

The goal is to demystify how the team operates so that others in ITS understand how to leverage the Faculty and Staff Desktop Support teams. We will also discuss challenges the team faces to better set expectations.

Pre-register for the August 19 Tech Talk in Yale’s Training Management System (TMS). Login to Yale’s Virtual Private Network (VPN) may be required.
