Departments use file servers to more efficiently share files, as compared with emailing files.

Notes

• But as with any change in workflow, conventions may need to be discussed and agreed on, and new skills and habits developed.
• When and if it's a "go" per Physics's decision, PhysIT can make this server "drive" appear automatically so it becomes easily available on staff computers. This is almost immediate, once committed, via AD policy.
• Roger is working with Greg at A&S to set up the space (as of 11/15), in anticipation that this service will prove of value to Physics. This can easily be reversed if a "no go", of course.
