Network Services 

The ITS Network and System group is comprised of the ITS Network, Security, Server, and Deskside teams as well as the Network Operation Center (NOC). The group is responsible for all facets of Information Technology that are involved with both maintaining existing network infrastructure and planning for new projects. Additionally, they are responsible for all ITS hardware and peripherals. The NOC can be reached at [email protected] and serves as a central point of contact for ITS questions or project status for both ITS staff and external customers.

Program Support

This team is led by Allie Axley. The ITS Program Support Unit exists to support the ITS Branch and DMO with coordinating, strategizing and implementing process improvements and support resources. The unit's purpose is to develop, maintain, and support the tools and processes needed to serve our internal (Network & Systems, Engineering and Field Operations units) and external (Engineering, Maintenance, Permitting and Planning programs) customers as a specialty support Unit. There are six key focuses within the ITS Program Support Unit: Applications, Project Delivery Processes, Asset Inventory, Asset Management, Budget and Utilities.
