2) UC Berkeley Selects Google Apps As Their Primary Email/Calendar Solution 

  • UC Berkeley Selected Google Apps
  • They used grids with criteria as analysis tool
  • Google Apps is a cloud application (hosted on their computers). There are questions on both sides of utilizing a cloud service.
  • Oracle communications Zimbra & MS exchange are being considered by FHDA as the replacement for Eudora & MeetingMaker. Yahoo is not as robust as the others and is not being considered.
  • Sandboxs will be set up – feature by feature analysis. Will be tried out on all platforms. Classified staff volunteered to participate in the sandbox tests.
  • Middle of February will come up with a selection.
  • Conversation email looks to be somewhat easily. Meetingmaker will be a challenge as it is a propitiatory system. It is likely that the Meetingmaker system will be archived and the new system will start from scratch.
  • Implementation will be done in phases. This first phase’s target date is scheduled to be June 30, 2012. Phase II will follow on.
  • Month long period of training in the new system.
