  • Report IWIN related repair issues to the DoIT Service Desk and serve as the initial contact for all agency related trouble calls.

  • Complete and submit all service request forms accurately and thoroughly:
    1. Complete all required fields on the Wireless Service Request form.
    2. When appropriate, provide additional information using the available fields.
