Faculty and staff receive Jabber service and support. IT staff receive software downloads and support. Jabber includes a softphone and a chat client.
Faculty/staff should contact their IT staff to request Jabber software install. Requests for services or support for IT staff should be logged with the UBIT Help Center or by filling out the Telephone Service Request Form.
| Telephone Request | Requesting Telephone Service from our standard service offering (e.g., new phone set or number assignment, phone display name change, etc.), getting instructional and informational help (e.g., how to place calls, how to program speed dials, etc.) or requesting services related to telephone service, including Jabber. |

Additional definitions are available in the Service Level Statement - Glossary.
UBIT provides Jabber service to all UB faculty and staff, in all spaces owned and/or managed by UB, on request. Specifically excluded from this Service Level Agreement are Call Center Solutions and VoIP Broadcast Paging which are provided as distinct, opt-in services.
All of the listed service goals are defined within the Hours of Support. In other words, if an issue is reported outside of hours of support, the clock would not start until start of business the following business day. As targets, these are not guarantees on response time, but goals that help define the needed support resources.
