Kudos & Congratulations
UIT staff recognized for their excellent work
Congratulations to Dalton Clift and Derek Paniagua (both from the CTO organization) for winning the last prize drawing!
Although this took place in the recent past, we had a very successful PeopleTools update to 8.59 in FS production, along with PeopleSoft version 43. We had only one minor issue after going live and less than 10 fixes during our user testing process — probably the smoothest PT upgrade in history. Kudos go to the entire team (I'm sure I'm missing a name or two): Ammon Thomson, CJ McMillan, Lee Stenquist, Lihong Yu, Namita Mahtta, Paul Richardson, Ray Lacanienta, Reza Sarijlou, Robert Crawford, Saraswathi Venugopal, Steve Wright, Rob Lake, David Lake, Arnie Carter, Thanh Nguyen, Ray Natividad, Jeramy Berry, Matt Leatham, and Marc Thompson.

I'm writing to give specific praise to Tony Le, IT support for the Department of Family and Preventive Medicine. Tony has a problem-solving mindset, and a can-do attitude. He helps us keep the technology running and is so cheerful about it. I'm so glad that he's on our team. Thanks for sharing him with us.
~ Christy Porucznik, Department of Family and Preventive Medicine
Heather Winters is seriously a rockstar. The amount of tickets and requests our department sends her way is unreal, and yet, she tackles every one quickly and loops me in with updates. Our department truly wouldn't be able to function or deliver the patient care our Crisis Services provides without her!
~ Jena Wendt, Huntsman Mental Health Institute
I'd like to give a shoutouts to Matt Munro and Eric Martinez for helping me ease into the role of a Sys Admin for UIT! They've both been incredibly helpful answering questions that I have. Keep up the amazing work!
~ Tony Le, CTO organization
Drew Merrill, Matt Munro, and the others helping them have been absolutely AMAZING! I just want to give huge thanks to them because they have been absolutely stellar!
~ Heidi Frank, University Safety Department
I just want to say how awesome the Cable Plant team was in helping me with some recent port issues. From Doug Conorich helping me on Saturday (July 9) to the follow up from Johsua Stallard today (Monday, July 11)! I truly do appreciate their time and attentiveness to this issue. 😊
Thank you, thank you, thank you. Five-star service for sure!
~ Veronica Jones, Information Technology Services
My department, the Risk & Insurance Services Department, would like to say that we are thrilled with Robert Veljak’s IT service. He has been an excellent addition to the University of Utah’s IT team. We appreciate all of his assistance.
