- Leverage technologies, tools and processes to improve efficiency and effectiveness of OIT communication and collaboration
- To overcome the challenges related to employees who work remotely, and the challenges related to OIT being located in different campus locations
- In addition to the Pilot proposal for evaluation of the Double robot, we want to leverage other technologies, tools and processes.
- Technologies, tools and processes already used within OIT
- Tools for efficient remote communication and collaboration
- Zoom for audio and video conferencing, screen sharing, and whiteboard sharing
- Slack
- Google tools such as Hangouts
- Office 365 tools such as Skype for Business
- Telephone tools such as mobile phone integration with the campus phone system, and softphones
- Conference/meeting room tools such as projectors, conference phones, and display screens
- Install displays or projectors, webcams, and Polycom conference phones to allow Zoom sessions between conference rooms and with individuals at their computers (similar to UC Recruit's setup)
- Evaluate whiteboard sharing options such as the functionality in Zoom

- Tools for efficient remote communication and collaboration
- Probable use cases:
- Full or part time remote workers who want to increase their presence in the office, in meetings, and to increase their participation in conversations and collaboration with coworkers
- To reduce travel between OIT locations for meetings by allowing remote meeting participation
- Improving the continuous communication and collaboration between coworkers who are not in the same location
