Situation Butler University’s CIO, Scott Kincaid and his IT team had evaluated their current system and concluded it is beginning to show its age. SBC Centrex and the Centigram 640 has been great for the last decade but it is beginning to be inefficient as its capabilities are being maxed out and causing complications. Target Kincaid and his team are looking to improve overall communications and campus safety. This will center on the students need to communicate within Butler University and their need for voice mailboxes (Valdes, Robert and David Ross).
These improvements will also handle the countless number of calls that are frequent from employees and students. Proposal I would begin extensive research on the new systems. Vendors will be held to high standards, as they need to provide the most accurate data. The vendors will be providing an initial cost analysis that includes instillation, training & development and maintenance requirements for an estimate time of ten years.

Maintenance will be done by Butler’s IT department but they will first be getting the hands on training need to make the implementation a success.
