Adjusting to new ways of doing business
We know you have a lot to get used to - new IT providers, practices and processes. We are committed to helping you adjust to the changes and take advantage of the benefits the state's IT transformation is bringing.
In this week's newsletter, you will find information about working with the Field Services team, part of the new Consolidated Service Desk. When the assistance you need cannot be provided over the phone, Field Services technicians will come to the desk of GTA customers to provide support for enduser computing equipment, such as desktops, laptops, tablet PCs and network printers. The team aims to address and resolve your issue as quickly as possible.

As our service delivery evolves, you can play an important part in helping us continually improve customer service. The article below explains how you can comment - anonymously if you'd like - about your customer service experience and offer ideas for improvements. The new toll-free number - 1.877. opinGTA - is one of several ways you can let us know how we are doing.
We are glad to serve you, and we look forward to hearing from you.

New toll-free number lets customers provide anonymous feedback
GTA is committed to making sure agencies receive outstanding customer service, and we are pleased to offer a new and convenient way for customers to provide feedback about service delivery.
With the launch of 1.877.opinGTA, customers have the option of commenting anonymously on their customer service experience and offering suggestions for improvements. When customers call, they hear a recorded greeting and, following a tone, can leave a voice message of up to three minutes in length.
The messages are transcribed on a regular basis and reviewed by customer service teams from GTA and our technology service providers. Action plans are created to respond to any trends or customer needs.
For time-sensitive concerns, customers should call the Consolidated Service Desk at 1.877.GTA.3233 (1.877.482.3233).
GTA offers several other ways for customers to comment on service delivery. You can submit comments on the Contact Us page of GTA's website or contact your GTA Service Delivery Consultant directly. If you don't know how to contact your SDC, go to the GTA website, enter your agency's name or acronym in the "Find Your Service Delivery Consultant" box on the right side of the homepage, and click "Go." A new window will open displaying the name and contact information for your SDC.
We are also asking a sampling of callers to the Consolidated Service Desk to complete a brief survey to find out if their service issues were resolved in a timely manner.
