  1. A New Voice Mail System for Penn Deke Kassabian Information Systems and Computing ABA Meeting, September 20, 2007

  2. Key Reasons for Change • Today’s Octel Voicemail system is old and expensive to support (vendor EOL/EOS) • It does not have good disaster recovery capabilities • In a failure, we could be out for at least 12 hours • message recovery would be incomplete. • the new system can recover rapidly with very complete data • The new system is designed for the new PennNet Phone service to be used throughout Penn in the next few years • A migration by all users to the new voice mail system now brings us back to "one voice mail community"

  3. Differences • There will be differences in features and functionality • In some cases, the new voice mail system will be less feature rich • But it will allow PennNet Phone users some very advanced online access to messages and features • Web access to settings • Both telephone and email access to messages

  4. Timing • New voicemail is in production use now for 1500 PennNet Phoneusers • New voicemail is in pilot now for 100 campus users of traditional phones • For most traditional phone users, rollout is being targeted for early in CY2008 (actual date not yet determined) • For advanced voicemail applications, migration will take place in late spring or early summer CY2008 • eg., Menus, Transfer Mailboxes, Listen-only mailboxes

  5. Pricing/Financial impact • No price change for voicemail users using traditional phones • Voicemail for PennNet Phoneusers is available at lower cost • Access by Phone or Email for $3.00/month • Details available at • http://www.upenn.edu/computing/isc/networking/rates/voice/voicemail.html
