Note: The Service Desk knows which technicians are in, and what the current work load of each technician is. It also allows your request to be directed to the correct technician responsible for the specific service you are asking for.  If you call a technician directly, your problem may not be addressed promptly if the technician is out at that time. We have had cases of this happening and work orders needing immediate attention not getting resolved for a few days due to the direct call.
