Time for Change: Collaboration for Improved Communication, Productivity
12/31/2003
The new calendaring system quickly became engrained into everyday life at
the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill, and has literally, changed the
way we work. Staff members from different departments can easily schedule meetings
and access each other’s calendars—something we were not able to
do before. The university has had widespread acceptance of the system at all
levels of the organization—from the executive staff to the administrative
team. With the integrated calendar system, the chancellor’s office can
see departmental calendars, greatly improving visibility and communication throughout
the university.
Moving forward, the university plans to roll out Oracle Calendar to its 26,000
students. This next phase will integrate all students, faculty and staff on
one calendar system for the first time, taking productivity and communication
to an even higher level.

of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
