Kathy Austin Stalcup, director of technology support for information technology, said TTUNet Instant Messenger has been in use for about eight months through a pilot program. She said the Tech instant messenger is a form of Microsoft instant messenger that has been customized for Tech.
“We participated in a Microsoft case study, and we were the first higher education entity to participate in the case study,” Stalcup said. “It’s customized for Texas Tech, and it’s based on Microsoft live communication server.”
The Tech instant messenger has many uses and will benefit students, faculty and staff, Stalcup said.
