As part of the continuous improvement programme for ICT Services, a number of initiatives are underway to add value to your projects:

MS Window 7 Upgrade

A programme to upgrade all laptops and PCs to use the Windows 7 operating system will standardise systems and ensure the latest functionality is available to all employees.  PCs not capable of running Windows 7 will be replaced under a rolling replacement programme and any legacy systems e.g. Windows XP, will continue to be supported by the ICT Department until they are no longer supported by Microsoft. 

Microsoft Office programmes are being upgraded to the latest version 2010 with enhanced functionality, such as mobile applications.

The web applications element of Office 2010 allows you to edit and create document from any location and you may notice change to the webmail log on page - https://webmail.narec.co.uk

Other increased functionality available within this product includes the ability to see attachments directly on the server, without having to download to a public PC and the ability to open shared calendars.

Microsoft OneNote

This is a free form information gathering and multi-user collaboration program and is now available. It can gather user's notes (handwritten or typed), drawings, and audio commentaries and share them with other users of Microsoft OneNote over the Internet or Intranet.

Remote Access

Can we remind you that remote access to corporate file shares etc, including your personal drive, is available at the location - https://remote.narec.co.uk

Should you have any queries on any of the above, then please do not hesitate to contact the ICT team - ICTDepartment@narec.co.uk
