What is DGIT?
DGIT is focusing on refining our support and providing a greater experience for you, our clients in the areas of research, teaching, and administration of the academy. DGIT's efforts are composed of the three pillars:
Client Experience
We are committed to bringing a more personal approach to your support. To this effort, we have rolled out Client Service Pods to all the departments we support to allow our Desktop Support Technicians and Desktop Support Managers to become better acquainted with the technological environment and needs of your department.
Platform Services
We are building a secure and enhanced technology platform and service offerings to meet the needs of the school's missions. We deliver modern and secure information technology that enables effective access, performance, and collaboration while delivering leading-edge support and consultancy that meet organizational needs and expectations.
Academic Technology Services
In support of the academic missions of the schools, we are building an Analytics Center for Education (ACE) to support MD-CQI and decision support; expanding the data science platform and capabilities to accelerate research and innovation; and enabling the implementation of the new curriculum for DGSOM and tools that enable competency-based education.
