If not, it sounds to me like checklists and schedulers are your best next steps. You can structure and document what you do now, and then look at it to see if there…"

Daniel Bashaw replied to Kimbel Jeffers's discussion Office Reservation software"Hi Kimbel.
I know you've been tasked with finding a software solution, though I'm wondering if you may need an interim step first: Does your institution have checklists covering all of the steps needed in on-boarding, relocating, and…"
Daniel Bashaw replied to Katra Farah's discussion Online chat interfaces"In our case the impact of our current proprietary chat tool seems to be minimal, as it is little-used. It requires log-in with contact details and is slow to load. I don't have any metrics on its impact to back up my perception though.
I expect…"
Daniel Bashaw posted a discussionCanadian Universities and the US Cloud
I recently ran into some concerns about using US-based cloud or IaaS servers for hosting Canadian University sites that may collect user data. I recall this question first arising some years back with the introduction of the US Patriot Act, which arguably could contradict Canadian privacy law.A recent ruling on this question by the Ontario Privacy Commission is pretty definitive:…See More
Daniel Bashaw replied to Derek Tonn's discussion Freelance web design recommendations (small projects)"This raises an interesting thought... If the work can be packaged up as specific problems that have a current broken state and a well-defined desired success state, they might be a good fit for a freelancer outsourcing web site.

Daniel Bashaw replied to Doug Thompson's discussion Higher-ed Project Management...Podio? 5pm? Basecamp? Something else?"I just found out about Intervals recently. It looks like it has an interesting combination of support ticket and time tracking features. We need that combination for our IT department and help desk, so I'm considering it as a possible system…"
Daniel Bashaw replied to Doug Thompson's discussion Higher-ed Project Management...Podio? 5pm? Basecamp? Something else?"The larger planned proactive projects might benefit from the tools you are considering, but they will probably be too much overhead for the stream of smaller and essential-but-reactive projects that we all have to deal with as part of our flow.

Daniel Bashaw replied to Katra Farah's discussion Online chat interfaces"Hi Katra,
For background, are you using a specific CMS or preferred technology stack, and do you have a preference for a 'cloudy' hosted solution you just drop in with an iframe, or something that integrates directly with your CMS?

Daniel Bashaw replied to Derek Tonn's discussion Replacing Website Menus with a combination of Thumbnails and Tags?"Hm... It seems to me that your idea works very well in a constrained domain, especially a visual one like a maps database. It seems a lot like a drill-down through a tagging system rather than conventional search -- or at least it seems like it…"
Daniel Bashaw replied to Derek Tonn's discussion Replacing Website Menus with a combination of Thumbnails and Tags?"Hi Derek,
This is an interesting concept, though I have never seen anything like it implemented, it does remind me of the use of facets in Apache SOLR search implementations, but with a more highly visual interface than is typically used.
I would…"
Daniel Bashaw posted a discussionOpen Source CRM?
We are exploring alternatives to our collection of somewhat under-utilized and expensive proprietary CRM software, and I'm hoping to bring some open source options to the table for consideration, along with cloud options and the usual higher ed proprietary suspects.Have any of you had good or bad experiences with sugarCRM or civiCRM in PSE settings? All comments and thoughts appreciated... Thanks! - DanSee More

Daniel Bashaw replied to Kevin Hanselman's discussion Cannibalizing web traffic?"I've been speculating for some time that there might be a generalized flow of our users away from web sites and towards accessing information through social media. This could be a very soft effect: a tweeted question that replaces a hit on a…"

Ultimately i would like this software to management faculty office interms of when resources can be removed from a particular office and when a new faculty member can be moved in with the necessary resources.
