This edition includes articles on:

• The Exchange migration process
• Jenzabar, the upcoming campus management system
• RedCloud, a new on-demand hosting service for researchers
• The new Calendar of Events system

Information Technologies & Services, in consultation with the General Faculty Council, has launched a new Calendar of Events.

"We've known that events are the lifeblood of any clinical or basic science department," said Dan Dickinson, Associate Director for Web Communications. "There's a great need within the community to have an easy way not just to promote, but to also be able to find events. The new Calendar of Events is a great leap forward for both needs."

As part of the planned migration to Microsoft Exchange for email and calendaring services, ITS has added information about the Exchange service to the website. The information can be found at:

The information includes basic service information, policies, how-to guides and tutorials, a list of best practices, and specifics about the timeline for the migration of departments and users into Exchange.
