How Verizon Wireless Can Help

Your Challenge	How Verizon Wireless Can Help You Meet That Challenge	Example
COMMUNICATE SEAMLESSLY ON AND OFF CAMPUS	Stay in touch when working on or off campus. Reply to emails instantly with secure wireless email synchronization.	A campus events director receives a text message notifying her that a scheduled lecture hall is having audio-visual problems. She quickly sends an email to Scheduling and relocates the lecture in time to avoid any conflicts.
INCREASE ADMINISTRATIVE EFFICIENCY	Give campus grounds crews the means to be more productive, while keeping closer track of campus vehicles with Verizon Wireless Field Force Manager.	Using Field Force Manager on handheld devices, grounds crews can capture timecard information, receive work orders, and input job status, all remotely and electronically. And administration can track the location of campus vehicles and send turn-by-turn directions when needed.
FACILITATE FACULTY INSTRUCTION AND RESEARCH	Help faculty to efficiently balance course instruction and research endeavors by keeping them connected to the Internet and school networks. Access critical research data while in the field with wireless high-speed Internet access. Stay connected with colleagues, research/teaching assistants, and students during travel, guest lecturing, and conferences.	Conducting research away from his office, a professor needs to access an article he wrote last year, which is currently posted online. Far away from any hotspots, he uses Mobile Broadband Built-In on his notebook and accesses it without difficulty. While connected, he receives an email from one of his teaching assistants regarding an urgent issue with a student’s thesis and is able to address it right away.
