IC's (Not Just) Datatel Group

Though the majority of IC resides within the basement of the Smith Library and the Help Desk in Howe Hall, many actually work outside of main campus. The largest concentration of  IC staff away from main campus work in the Bowman building on the walking mall. 

This group is commonly referred to all as the "Datatel Group." Though that name is misleading because they do much more than managing and maintaining Datatel. In fact, the proper name for their group is the "Administrative Services Group." 

Each of the group members gave me their general job responsibilities so that I could inform you, the reader, who it is that maintains and supports some of the most important systems that you might encounter on a day-to-day basis. Here's the breakdown of services each group member supports and who to contact if you have questions:

Critical services that keep this university running efficiently as possible are where these folks target their labor. Spearheading the support and management of these types of system is a tricky task, but the Administrative Services Group (aka Datatel Group) is up to the challenge, and does a fantastic job.
