New email/calendar service: come and see the options

2 February 2011

Staff and students are invited to an open meeting on Wednesday 9 February, when the two contenders for a new, integrated email and calendar service will be available for inspection.

Following feedback from staff and students, the University plans to introduce new, integrated email and calendar software to replace the current systems (Mulberry, Squirrelmail and Oracle Calendar).

The two options currently under consideration are Google Apps for Education and Microsoft Live@Edu.

In order to give staff and students a chance to examine these options and ask questions, Library and Computing Services are holding an open meeting on Wednesday 9 February in the Tyndall Lecture Theatre, Physics Building, at 2pm. Representatives from Microsoft and Google will be present to show demos of Google Apps for Education and Microsoft Live@Edu.

All staff and students are welcome; there is no need to book in advance.
