Joe said this would be a very interesting project for next fiscal year. He invited all to look at the Cisco demonstration for universal messaging that will be scheduled at an April SPIT meeting. Universal messaging will allow voice mail, e-mail, and faxes to be in one mailbox and could be read over the phone. It will also allow every phone number to be a fax number. Information could be kept on a hard drive or a floppy and could be forwarded to someone else.
Plans are to start the project next year.
Joe said he would notify PBC of the exact date and time of the demonstration. The first draft of revised Technology Plan is available and posted on SPIT Web site. Joe said he has been trying to convene the Virtual Student Union Steering Committee. He said he has been in contact with the vendor, I-Sun. Based upon lessons learned this semester, plans are to re-launch next fall.
