UPDATE #3: Unified Communications Rollout
View in full page
When:
July 29, 2015

Information Technology Services is proud to report Phase 2 of 3 of the unified communications rollout is now complete!

Phase 2 focused on individuals at Lakeshore Campus. Rollout was successfully completed July 4th as planned.  As with the first phase of the rollout, there were no issues of note during Phase 2. 

The focus has now shifted to North Campus (Phase 3).  The first group transitioned earlier this month.  The plan calls for all of North (including Guelph-Humber) to be fully over in October.

At the same time, work to upgrade all the legacy classroom phones has also started.   Classrooms are all being outfitted with new phones and priority access to help and support services.

One new feature getting a lot of attention is the new conferencing tool.  Feedback suggests WebEx offers Humber a significantly better collaboration experience for much less cost.

Another feature getting a lot of attention, especially with on-the-go employees, is single-number reach.  Some people are using single-number reach to stay on top of their calls.

Single-number reach is also helping people work from home.  One person recently used single-number reach to stay productive while home recovering after surgery.  It worked without issue.

But the feature getting the most praise is unified messaging.  Feedback suggests people really like getting their voice mail as e-mail.  It has made voice mail useful again and easier to use.  

As a whole, the entire project now stands at 74% complete. Satisfaction with the rollout still stands at 100% according to survey data.  Full rollout remains on track for November 2015.

For more information, please contact Ryan Burton, Director of I.T. Planning & Client Services, at X5290.

Did you know Humber’s Human Rights Policy outlines Humber’s position as it relates to Freedom of Speech?

Provided below is an overview of Humber’s statement on Freedom of Speech located in section two (2); page three (3) of Humber’s Human Rights Policy:

  • Faculty and students have the right to discuss and to debate culturally sensitive and controversial ideas and issues relevant to the curriculum, in an open and safe manner and without fear of reprisal.
  • Faculty members are required to exercise sound professional judgment and conduct, and intellectual integrity during discussions, arguments, and disagreements, when conducted at the College. Faculty members are required to conduct discussions in an open, responsible and respectful manner.
  • The persistent or vexatious use of demeaning or abusive comments or actions which have the effect of threatening, intimidating, demeaning or harming an individual or group, or is otherwise in excess of the reasonable limits on freedom of speech in a free and democratic society is unacceptable and cannot be justified by an appeal to “freedom of speech”.

The College has the right, as well as the legal and moral responsibility, to ensure that all its members are treated fairly, equitably, and respectfully. To view the full statement on Freedom of Speech in Humber’s Human Rights policy visit: humber.ca/policies/human-rights-policy-procedure
