I just received this email from a department manager: "First thing I did was installed an app called Remote Desktop Lite (free). I used that to remote into my Windows machine on my desk and it worked beautifully. I pulled up Banner and found it to be really easy to work with on the iPad. What I liked the most was I didn't have to tab into the entry fields. I could touch them and the cursor would move. If I only had that on my desktop!" Wonderful.... So I'm thinking what is open on the desktop and what is the security of the transmission. We force VPN use from off-campus. I thought we had the remote desktop thing handled in terms of accessing our ERP. Am I unreasonably concerned? -- Theresa Rowe Chief Information Officer Oakland University **Think Green - Think before you print.**
