Changing Times
Willie Pritchard

by Willie Pritchard, Vice Chancellor and Chief Technology Officer

The three news articles in this issue of News Bytes have something in common: They all address ETS projects aimed at bringing more of the District's work processes into the electronic realm. Even better, they will all culminate into a solution that requires District folks to remember only one user name and password. Full story

Is There a Portal in Your Future?

This month, District employees received their direct deposit notification via e-mail, instead of receiving a mailed hard copy. The e-mail includes a link to your direct deposit stubs on a secure personalized online account (located at https://reports.fhda.edu/). Initially launched to save costs and paper, the project also represents a step forward in the age of electronic work flow processing. Full story

Preventing Viruses and Improving Security

When a new ETS project is complete, you won't have to chase as much paper while performing your daily activities. The Workflow Project, which will bring more of the District's work processes online, is underway and scheduled to begin rolling out in 2005. The key benefits of the Workflow Project will be increased accuracy, timeliness and efficiency. Full story

New Board Policy on Use of District Network and Computers

In 2005, ETS plans to introduce Web portals to the District. Translation: You'll be able to sit down at any computer with Web access - at work, home or elsewhere - and access the information and processes you need to perform your job. Gone will be the days of sorting through stacks of paper on your desk and remembering different passwords for various online accounts. You'll eventually be able to get everything you need from one Web site - with one user name and one password. Full story
