- Arizona Department of Education
- Location
- Phoenix
- Quick ROI project:
- IT recently adopted ChangeGear as its IT service management system, allowing the department to significantly improve its ability to track support requests, reduce response time, measure our effectiveness and enhance our services. Customers have noticed fewer dropped calls and enjoy one-call resolution.
- A recent innovative staff idea:
- A nontechnical member of my staff proposed building one product marketing plan that included all Arizona Education Learning & Accountability System products. Key customers and end users will quickly understand what each product's direct value is to them personally. The approach is in response to the confusion the individual product rollouts were creating for our customers.
- How are you building an IT department for the future?
- Our team employs best-in-class tools to work in concert with an architectural design concept that accounts for tomorrow's technology.
