Private Branch Exchange (PBX) Replacement
Feasibility Study
43
The Existing Nortel PBX

• Why replace the existing phone system?
• It was installed in 1997 and is now 16 years old.
• The technology is 25 years old.
• Only 3 more years of useful life remain.
• Replacement parts will no longer be available.
• After 3 years, it will require major upgrades.

44
What Are the Alternatives?
The feasibility study evaluated five options
based on campus preparedness, system
functionality and cost.

1. Continue with the current PBX and upgrade in 3
   years.
2. Purchase a new PBX with modern features now, but
   delay modern feature implementation.
3. Implement a new Cisco System with modern features
   now.
4. Purchase a modern cloud-based system from the
   CENIC consortium to which the University belongs.
5. Implement the Microsoft Lync system.

45
The Selection
Microsoft Lync offers the lowest total cost of
ownership and is the most feature-rich option.

• Benefits
• Currently being pilot tested on campus in the
  TVFM Studies Center, Golden Eagles Apartments
  and the Child Care Center, so system interactions
  will be known.
• Can be combined with other licensing costs
  through Microsoft.
• Can operate in remote locations.
• Can be split into redundant locations on campus.
• Will integrate features with the planned e-mail
  upgrade to Microsoft Office 365.

46
Website Upgrade

• Migrating to Drupal (Summer-Fall 2013)
• Open Source Content Management System
• Easier to create/manage site
• Publishing Platform
• Text, Photo, Video, Blog, Podcast, etc.

54
CSULA Budget Impacts 2013/14

• FTES Resident Target will be 16,546, which is a
  1.2 percent increase from the 2012-13 Target.
• Proposed budget includes 6.2 million increase in
  GF, which is the campus portion of the 2012/13
  Tuition Fee Rate Rollback.
• Proposed budget includes 794,000 funding for
  enrollment growth.
• Proposed budget provides funding for mandatory
  costs (i.e., health care, energy and operations
  and maintenance of new space increases estimated
  at 1.9 million).
• Proposed budget includes 2.5 million funding for
  retirement rate increase.
• CSU budget provides funding for 38 million
  employee compensation pool and 7.2 million for
  student access and success initiatives. The
  distribution of these funds is pending further
  determinations.
• No tuition fee increase for 2013-14.

55
CSU Budget Response
Key Message

• The proposed budget signals the Governors
  reinvestment in the CSU and higher education. The
  proposed budget reverses a trend of decreased
  state support over the past several years. This
  will allow the CSU to address the unprecedented
  demand for high quality education and other areas
  of critical need. CSU still faces many fiscal
  challenges and will continue its efforts to
  operate efficiently and effectively.

56
CSU Budget Response (cont.)
Key Concerns

• Balancing cost of high-quality instruction, given
  no tuition increases for an extended period
  (2011-12 through 2016-17), as proposed in the
  Governors budget.
• Tuition is frozen. CSU is expected to maintain
  current tuition and fee levels over the next four
  years (FY 2016-17) which will limit our ability
  to sustain overall support operations.
• Governors performance based funding, in which
  funding will be based on achieving critical
  outcomes such as graduation and completion rate,
  time-to completion, etc.
• Maintaining an aging infrastructure and
  increasing deferred maintenance.
