Communication and collaboration

At KU Medical Center, we already make extensive use of Microsoft PC operating systems, server operating systems, and applications as well as Microsoft’s enterprise database application SQL-Server.  We are now poised to extend our use of Microsoft tools and applications, thereby offering enhanced communication and collaboration services for the KUMC community.  The KU Hospital has also made a parallel strategic decision.

Strategic direction

1. Implement a Microsoft-based communication and collaboration environment including Exchange/Outlook, SharePoint Server, Office 2007, and the InfoPath forms creation and workflow environment.

Major Objectives (an objective is ongoing if not target deadline is included)

• CC-2: Implement the Microsoft Exchange/Outlook groupware environment to replace Novell GroupWise; complete the migration by December 31 2008. (MF)
