Information Technology News of the University of California, Davis Fall 1994
Don't let the old red telephone booth fool you. Plenty of high-tech changes are happening inside the Telecommunications Building. And Dick Kaye is right in the middle of them. Before the establishment of Information Technology in October 1992, Communications Resources' (formerly Telecommunications) primary mission was providing campuswide telephone and telecommunications services. With the creation of I.T., Communications Resources took on the added responsibility of operating and maintaining all campus data networking services.
"Making the transition to Network 21 as smooth as possible is our primary goal right now," says Kaye, who believes this new infrastructure will create tremendous opportunities.
"With the emergence and maturity of network capabilities, the business of the university will be conducted electronically as such functions as purchasing go online," Kaye says. "For years, people have come to depend on the telephone as an absolutely essential service. In the years ahead, access to the data network will become just as urgent in the day-to-day conduct of business."
