If groupware is still a viable option, as some committee members hope, then its features should be included. Strategic implementation of a groupware type solution would require enlisting departments to not only use, but promote the use of the package, realizing that the benefits of sharing information can be powerful. Nearly needless to say, another draft of the survey will be forthcoming. This e-mail package has been tried by several CAC members, with generally positive reactions. A criteria response sheet was distributed.
Additional reactions are welcome.
After all have been reviewed, the next step will be to stage open sessions, preferably during the weeks of April 19 and 26. The possibility of videotaping the demos for greater access is under consideration.
