Help Desk
Contact: helpdesk@cityofmadison.com or 266-4193
Responsibilities & Services
The Help Desk serves as a single point of contact for Information Technology customers. All questions and problems pertaining to your computer or telephone should be called into the Help Desk. All calls are entered into a Call Tracking Software package and assigned a call number. Calls which cannot be solved over the phone or remote controlling your computer will require an on-site visit. It is the goal of the Help Desk to make the initial determination of the problem the same day. Depending upon the severity of the problem, it may take longer to resolve.
Staff do work after hours to resolve critical network or system outages. If you encounter a technology problem after hours that (1) affects multiple people, (2) is of a critical nature, and (3) cannot be solved by standard troubleshooting, use the On Call number. If the problem can wait until the following business day, please either call the Help Desk main line to leave a voicemail or send us an email.
