Separate administration for office addresses and telephone numbers
Currently «ETH-internal addresses and telephone numbers» (office addresses on ETH premises with corresponding telephone number) is managed by ITS-Communications as part of ETH internal telephony administration. To facilitate the introduction of new voice communication technologies (VoIP – Voice over IP) and the optimization of employment (entry) processes, administration of office addresses shall be newly designed and separated from phone numbers. From here on, ITS-Communication, together with decentralized telephony supporters, will be responsible for telephone number allocation and administration only, without office address administration (disconnection office address <-> phone number). This new concept ensures comprehensive coverage of all ETH employee internal addresses, as mandated by the federal government.
New processes – main features
- As part of the employment process, the initial office address entry will be made by HR.
Additional entries/ mutations shall be made / initiated by the employee. - New concept for the assignment process of internal telephone number to office address
- Guest administration will be newly managed by OIS
- Service Offices: new administrative entity that can have a set of contact information separately
Internal addresses will be used by all major applications (Academic, SAP, Estate Management), as well as the ITS Identity Management und Directory Services (nethz, LDAP, Active Directory, etc.).
