For each additional or replacement computer ordered, only one other computer move will be made within the department by the ITS install group. Departments are encouraged to plan their computer moves around staff needs rather than strict seniority. This policy will help provide more timely and cost effective installations. As Dilbert says, Change is good. You go first.
Technology has a way of constantly changing our daily lives, especially in the workplace.
In the near future, our existing software applications will not be able to support some of the newer technologies that are being introduced. For example, our standard email system does not support some of the newer ways of displaying messages or storing mail files that are becoming more common. With the increasing use of the web, as well as hand-held devices, calendar, scheduling and contact systems are becoming more integrated so that this information can be accessed anytime anywhere. In order to meet these new opportunities, ITS has been exploring and testing options for transitioning to new software applications in these areas. There is a University Committee that has been appointed to study our options and make recommendations to the University Technology Standards Board.
