Technical Support
GW IT provides remote support. All requests are tracked in its ticketing system. To place a request for support:
All requests require that you provide a SEAS asset tag. The asset tag is blue and white, includes SEAS and five numbers and is included on all SEAS equipment. The tag will help technicians identify the type of equipment, operating system and warranty status, and verify the location and applications installed on it, if relevant.
