As many of you are aware, the University continues to upgrade the phone system.  To date, approximately 4000 handsets have now been migrated over to the new system across the majority of buildings on Gilmorehill.

The project will continue throughout spring of 2013 with plans for migration concentrating mainly on Garscube campus.  However, please note there will also be some works continuing on Gilmorehill. 

The following buildings will be migrated in the next phase. Please note: due to the building works being undertaken in Garscube, a full site survey will be performed prior to the phones being deployed.

This schedule has been developed to minimise disruption to staff and students and may be adjusted if there is potential to further reduce impact by aligning the rollout with other developments in specific areas of the university.

An email with notification of the changeover date will be sent to staff in each of the buildings prior to the change. Information will be available showing staff who receive a new handset how to use it and also how to activate and manage voicemail.

Please note that not all staff will receive a new handset in this rollout.  This is because new handsets require network connections and in some buildings, cabling difficulties mean there are a limited number of network connections.  Until these difficulties can be overcome, some staff will retain analogue handsets.  There is also a restriction on purchasing third part devices (headsets etc.) while the rollout is ongoing.  Any requests should be made through http://www.glasgow.ac.uk/it/selfservice
