Staff in departments are taking up MMS at a increasing rate with about 50 people per week currently seeking MMS accounts. There are currently over 1000 staff registered on MMS and over 150 trained in technical support. More departments are seeking to commence migration to MMS every week. A migration team is being established by ITS to assist TWP with coping with the demand for new MMS installations. From Lisa King, Training Manager, IAS Project.
All students gain access by swiping a pre-registered identity card.
General attendance at the labs is from all campuses with a fairly high proportion of students from Clayton and Peninsula. The new building at Berwick is well under way with the structure and roof already in place. The building is officially to be completed by February but unofficially it could be April or May before it is operational. Berwick is expecting four to five hundred additional new students next year which will take the total to 1700 students. It was originally envisaged that the Sun Ultra 5 workstation laboratory and Peninsula based Ultra 10 server would be installed for Semester 1 1999.
