Distributed Support Program Overview

The Distributed Support Partnership Program gives Notre Dame department executives the option of obtaining professional IT support staff in a way which relieves much of the training and managerial overhead burden from the department -- DSS staff are managed and trained by the OIT. This option provides advantages such as, budgetary flexibility, and freedom from the burdens of screening, hiring and management. The greatest advantage to the partnership program is having the backing of the entire Distributed Support team. Some campus departments have their own IT staff, yet take advantage of the DSS partnership program to obtain additional full-time or part-time resources.

The Distributed Support employees are physically placed into the departments they serve. While managed by the OIT, they have a "coffee cup in the break room" and participate in meetings as a typical employee of the department in which they are placed. The working priorities of the field staff are guided by a designated individual within the partnering department, typically a manager or director familiar with the day-to-day user and departmental computing needs.
