Project name:	Corporate Time Enterprise Calendaring
Project leader:	John Hose
Report date:	9/3/2002
Submitted by:	John Hose
Web URL:	http://web.mit.edu/is/discovery/calendaring/

Accomplishments past period:

	Refined survey results into more-readable Word documents.
	Analyzed the options for PDA interface/support.
	Reviewed server requirements.
	Reviewed Help-Desk support requirements.
	Reviewed end-user training options.

Goals for the coming period:

	Focus on Business-model options.
	Draft Report.
	Write final Report.
	ITAG review.

Next community milestone:

	None.

Issues:

	The Oracle purchase of Steltor continues to have an impact on 
the way we are looking at CorporateTime. There are various "unknowns" 
about CorporateTime's future and we have gotten at least one very 
negative report from a peer school about their CorporateTime 
experiences.

Key learnings:

	We have found some interesting possibilities with the web 
client, have a better understanding of the possibilities/limits of 
the PDA interface and have excellent information about what would be 
needed for successful CorporateTime support at the Help-Desk..

Team dynamics:

	The team continues to work together well. All of the team 
members have brought unique points of view to the project and have 
had some very constructive insights into the project.

Additional comments:

	None.
