Information Technology (IT)

The IT Division has three areas of specialization:

• Server implementation and support
• Hardware support

Current Projects:

Videoconferencing system:
In an effort to bring research collaboration to the next level, the Byrd Institute has implemented a state of the art multipoint videoconferencing solution. Even though they may be a world apart, this solution allows researchers from around the world to share their research and ideas as if they were sitting in the same room.

Collaboration Infrastructure:
The Byrd Institute utlitizes Microsoft Sharepoint Technologies to facilitate internal and external collaboration. MS Sharepoint allows for all members of a study or project to view, edit or create materials associated with the study. All that is required is internet access and a web browser. This allows people to easily communicate with their collegues in a timely fashion.
