As you may have already heard, Gigawire will be coming in this weekend to
rebuild our intranet security system. This change is merely a semi-annual update
to protect our records. By Monday, all computers in offices in the west wing will
have the new security system installed and running. The east wing will have the updates next weekend.
Anyone who needs access to security information must receive a short training
session and receive new usernames and passwords. After Friday afternoon,
intranet access will be denied to anyone not equipped with the new Gigawire
password information. In order to receive new access information, you must
attend the training session on Sunday afternoon. Please sign up for the session
and leave your username and password on the sign-up sheet in my office. Please don’t miss it.
I wil be leaving by 5:30 on Friday, so please make sure all of you have signed up
for the short training session and left your access information by that time. For
questions, please email or call me at ext. 323.
Date & Time of Incoming Call: 1:00 pm June 8 For: Gillian Jule Sender: Erich Gomez
Although I understand all last minute surprises, I have to raise a red flag in this
particular situation. As you may recall, there was a network outage early this
week and currently we are falling behind schechule. At this time, we don’t know
how long this fix will last without causing any additional problems. My director,
Kevin Farr, reported the detailed situation and potential risks to the Chief
Information Officer; and this morning they reached the decision that this issue
should be handled as a number of one priority and the permanent fix must be put
in place ASAP. Any work that may impact the resolution of this issue has to be
put off until the root cause is indentifed and a satisfying solution gets implemented.
Therefore, unfortunately the new security system installation can’t be performed
this weekend. I advise you to reschedule the installation for the beginning of next
month so that network engineers have enough time to troubleshoot the issue. Any
time before then, you can complete the training session for everybody. That way,
it won’t impact your schedule too much. I’m sorry for any inconvenience and
will keep you updated. For any questions, please let me or Kevin know. 27.
