[QUOTE="randomUPSISer, post: 643866, member: 24399"] IS = UPS IT department. I.S. is the actual IT department of UPS. Anything interesting, from programming, systems architecture, database administration, strategic network design and security, etc is done within I.S.. I.S. reports up through the CIO of the company and is its own "unit". TSG = UPS IT Support. TSG are the guys that tell you to reboot your machine when something is broke. They also replace the physical PC in the district when the hard drive fails and anything else that requires someone to physically be there. These guys USED to do alot of stuff like you'd think, but in recent years most of their job has been reduced to mindless stuff. The things you'd think they were supposed to do are now handled centrally from I.S. via remote access. Problem solving has been reduced to following a script that someone in I.S. wrote. TSG reports up through I.E., with the exception of corporate TSG who reports through I.S., and Worldport TSG, who report through AIR / TTG. Honestly, with the direction UPS is going I'd probably take the first job offered to me and not worry about getting into UPS I.S. or TSG. I get the feeling UPS TSG will eventually be handled remotely, not from NJ, but from Mumbia. (along with most of the rest of I.S. for that matter) [/QUOTE]
