You can also search our knowledge base, which has an extensive library of Georgetown service- and technology-related articles with answers to many common problems.

Account Managers

The UIS account managers are a single point of contact for University departments and offices to assist in developing and resolving unique or specialized technology issues. A few examples of how account managers might partner with customers include:

  • Escalating problems or service requests that have not been resolved by the help desk or desktop support teams
  • Investigating new technology solutions and engaging vendors for evaluation
  • Establishing services that are hosted in the cloud and/or by third parties
  • Communicating UIS initiatives to departments
  • Helping customers navigate uncertainty in technology issues

The account management team will continue to develop and adapt to best fit Georgetown’s needs. The current team and their respective accounts are:

Department Technology Representatives

Department Technology Representatives (DTRs), both on the Main Campus and Medical Center, serve as liaisons between UIS and the department the DTR serves.
