Vendor meetings for the collection of information, potential designs and cost estimates have been completed. IT technical staff have met and reviewed the potential solution proposals and a recommendation for direction is being carried forward to IT management for strategic direction approval. Next steps beyond strategic direction approval are;

• A potential pilot project on the Takoma Park campus
• A future implementation project to replace the existing Distributed Communications Servers (DCS's) on the Takoma Park campus which are facing end of support.
• Potential future projects to address longer term telephone issues on the Rockville and Germantown Campuses.

No timelines exist for any potential future projects at this time.
