· Upgraded Tegrity Cloud-based Storage & Delivery (CSD) – due to a 5x increase in demand for the Tegrity CSD service in 2009, we’ve made significant investments in enhancing our infrastructure in order to serve even more students in 2010.· Tegrity AAIRS™ – new and innovative technology that offers dynamic versus static integration, with ongoing synchronization with your institution’s data-set.

Tegrity AAIRS™ saves IT resources by eliminating manual and error-prone integration-related management and maintenance tasks.

Voice Mail System Replacement

Our current voice mail system, purchased in 1995, is no longer maintained by the manufacturer. A replacement system has been purchased based on more up to date technology. While it works slightly differently, it provides much of the same functionality.

It also allows your voice mail messages to be forwarded to your email. IT staff is working on creating voice mail boxes, student name dial entries, and voice menus. We are hoping to move to this system over Christmas break.

We are hoping staff will be able to access this system for testing and training in the near future.
