The IT Department has
installed and configured a new
Information
Delivery
System.
IDS
uses Citrix's MetaFrame Presentation
Server to provide remote access to applications, folders, and network
resources.
The
IDS system gives faculty, staff,
and students access to their information anytime, anywhere. Students
can use
IDS
to access the applications they use in their labs from their home
computer and open/save files on STC's network. Employees can use
IDS
to access the applications they use in their offices and also access the
S: drive, P: drive, and other shared folders and network resources.
How does IDS benefit you?
IDS will allow
students to access classroom software applications from their home
computer without having to purchase or install the applications.
Data can be stored on STC's network servers for easy access by the
student and their instructor. Faculty and staff can use IDS to use
applications and gain access to the S: drive, P: drive, other shared
folders, printers, copy machines, etc. The following list is an
example of software applications that
are available via IDS:
- Microsoft Office 2003 (Word, Excel, Access,
PowerPoint, Publisher, Visio, Project)
- QuickBooks Pro 2005
- Payroll 2005
- Visual Basic 6
- Adobe Creative Suite 2
- Macromedia Studio MX 2004

IDS access?

full-time employee wishing to use IDS will need to meet the following minimum
requirements:
- Must have logged in and
started using their Campus Pipeline email account
- Must have a computer capable of connecting
to the Internet
- Citrix client (will be automatically
downloaded if not already installed during first access)
Who can use the IDS?
Any currently enrolled STC student,
