A notable milestone

11 June 2008

When it comes to embracing innovative technologies in the workplace, the Faculty of Law is far from conservative.

The faculty is the first at Monash to adopt Monash Messaging - a new, integrated Lotus Notes email, calendar and task management system currently being rolled out to staff across the university.

Faculty of Law Manager Gerard Shanahan said he was delighted at the uptake of Monash Messaging by faculty staff.

"I think it's fair to say they are realising the early benefits of an integrated collaboration environment," Mr Shanahan said.

Program Manager of the University's Integrated Collaboration Environment Program Daryl Wood said the change-over by the Faculty of Law to the new email, calendar and task management services marked a significant milestone for the university.

"Faculty staff members are beginning to explore the advantages of the enhanced range of collaboration tools available within Lotus Notes," Mr
Wood said.

"With this first stage in place we can begin to incorporate the next generation of tools and technologies, such as desktop video-conferencing, instant messaging, presence awareness, document sharing, PC Faxing and Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) telephone service."

Mr Wood said these new technologies will enable staff to communicate and connect in radically new and improved ways.

"When used effectively and adopted across the university they will provide a range of significant benefits including minimisation of the need for inter-campus travel, streamlining people's time and work effort, and liberation from geographic constraints."
