Our Mission...

The Networking Division of Computer Services is responsible for designing, implementing, monitoring, and maintaining high-quality data and video networks for MissouriState and appropriate affiliates. This includes the Springfield, West Plains, and Mt. Grove campuses at various sites within a 24 county area for video.

We Don't Do Everything...

The Networking group takes care of all aspects of the data and video networks. We are, in a sense, a utility company that provides data and video outlets to our customers. Other groups should be contacted to order or repair a service or help fix problems with e-mail, personal computers, and network servers (such as NT, AIX, Novell, or mail). Some useful phone numbers are given below.
