Committee Members Present:
Bryan Benner, Scott Blackwood, Barb Erisman, Mike Failor, Duane Hamilton, Jeff Nelson, Mariann Reiter, Jen Sader, Pam Sautter, Michele Schmitz, Jim Stainbrook, Sandy White, Karen Woods

Jim Stainbrook called the meeting to order at 1:05 p.m. He stated progress is being made in all areas and we would begin the meeting with updates.

Mike Failor stated Kronos has been on campus the last few days installing production / trainer applications. It is now up and running. Interfaces to this point are working well and labor levels are looking good. He stated we are on target and making good progress. All license files have been installed. Kronos will be on campus May 1 to do badge and clock testing. They will also do additional programming on this date.

Mike stated they are still continuing their work with Kronos concerning the problems with Mac's. Mac's may only be able to be used as a time stamp piece. BGSU will need to support certain versions of Netscape and OS in order for Mac's to be used.

Mike stated there is a problem with multiple log-ons. It is still being discussed. If a student has more than one appointment at this time they will have more than one address. When the pilot program begins they well have a better idea of how this is going to work. Kronos has determined it would take 100 hours at $250.00 per hour to write authentication for BGSU. There would also be additional hours to determine the problem and maintenance cost.

Duane Hamilton stated they now have eight readers installed and ready to go.

Sandy White stated we should praise Mike Failor for all of his hard work and dedication.

Michelle Simmons stated they are working on writing the security action form needed for eTime. Sandy White stated one of the areas she is working on is what is actually needed in the profile. Sandy suggested forms also be available through the Help Desk.

Jeff Nelson talked about items discussed in the last conference call; the multiple log-on issue, hardware, and addresses. He stated progress is being made in all areas. Brian Kramer was asked to attend to discuss the Help Desk.

The web site is up and everyone has been asked to check it out.

The pilot group will begin the end of May. Originally it was scheduled for May 15 through June 14. It will not begin until spring semester is over.

At 1:40 p.m. Jim Stainbrook adjourned the meeting.
