Chemistry IT's actions to date

Update Spring 2018

• A&S is testing their server-based solution.

Prior actions:

Manage a project to address this need within Admin staff areas in March and April 2013, and ~ every two years thereafter. For the Identity Finder component, do this by individual machine (not using any server-based component).

Await A&S's server-based solution decision before addressing how best to support Research areas' needs. A&S IT staff are conferring with Human Ecology; have already conferred with CALS.
