DOCS: Requesting Service

Monthly Subscription

New Customers

If you are new to the DOCS service, please send us an email at docs@berkeley.edu or call us at 643-3272.

A DOCS staff member will discuss your computing needs to make sure DOCS has the services you need.

Next, a DOCS staff member will visit your site location to get a first hand look at your current set up:hardware and software configurations, networking, etc. The staff member will make recommendations for any upgrades necessary to meet our basic software, hardware, and file backup requirements.

Lastly, the customer will fill out the Monthly Application and Subscription forms below. DOCS will assist with developing an inventory of computers if necessary.

Customer will then be assigned a specific help email list for their unit to submit ticket requests and a primary DOCS staff contact for each platform.

Note that a minimum of five machines must be subscribed per group. This minimum may be waived for groups that have fewer than five machines, if DOCS determines that cost-effective service can be provided.
