Personal Smartphones & CCSD21
25.April.2010 17:08 Filed in: Tech Tips
As
we move all District 21 staff members over to
Exchange 2010 from CommuniGate during the closing
months of the 2009-2010 school year, many staff
members are interested in being able to access their
email, calendar, and contacts on their personal
smartphones. With certain parameters, District 21 is
going to allow staff members to gain access to
ActiveSync and their Exchange data beginning during
the Summer of 2010. (Unfortunately, the CCSD21
Technology Office will not be able to devote time to
supporting this until July 2010.)
Initially, we will only be able to support the iPhone/iPod Touch, and users will need to be running iPhone OS 3.0 or newer. From there, as described in the policy form, we hope to add Android OS 2.1 or newer to our supported devices. Then, in the Fall, when Windows Phone is released, we intend to add that OS, as well.
Beginning July 12, 2010, staff members can begin to contact the Tech Office to make an appointment (approximately 15 minutes) to get their phone enabled in the iPhone Management Software. For details on the policy, read it now!
