The newly elected board of the Ericsson User Group (EUG) held its first meeting at UCI’s University Club on Friday, December 3. The EUG is a national organization of Ericsson MD110 telephone system and wireless users which includes UCI, UCSC, and UCSD, and several CSU campuses.
NACS staff member Bruce Cotsonas was recently elected to a two-year term as Vice President/President Elect of the Ericsson User Group. In that position, Bruce is able to maintain close ties with Ericsson and serve as an advocate for UCI to be sure UCI telephone customers’ needs are addressed in Ericsson’s evolving product and service strategy.
Among the more interesting elements in Ericsson’s strategy is a migration from PBX to IP technology. John Whelan, Manager of Product Marketing, reported on Ericsson’s “PBX Migration Plan to IP” at the board meeting.
