BMIC Staff
If you need to contact staff about issues or with any questions about BMIC services or supported applications, the best way to contact us is to submit a Help Desk Ticket. All staff monitor the desk and can respond if a particular staff member is unavailable. You may email CTSI BMIC staff directly, if you prefer, but you will get the best response by submitting a Help Desk Ticket.
If you have an emergency, you may call the CTSI BMIC Helpline at 801-213-1550 between 9 AM and 5 PM.
