Keeping In Touch at U-Md.
Communications software and systems company Avaya Inc . and the University of Maryland's Robert H. Smith School of Business announced last week that they are expanding their research and development relationship. The New Jersey-based company will work with the school to develop a "virtual community" to make it easier for students, faculty and staff members to communicate. The first step in the project will allow participants to access a communications center -- using voice, Web or touch-tone technology -- to use calendars, voice mail, e-mail and faxes, and to schedule meetings or conduct conference calls.
