'Allo there

Google has immersed itself so deeply into our lives that we use the company's name as a verb every day. Last week Google launched their latest project, a chat programme called Allo.

Our own e-mail system is also undergoing some significant changes. In this week's article, Welcome to the cloud, read how this might affect you. Speaking of e-mail, please take note that there are various phishing e-mails circulating on campus. Be careful and don't click on any links.

Welcome to the cloud
At the end of July we announced that university e-mail will soon be hosted in the cloud. Most of our Tygerberg staff were successfully migrated and are already active on Outlook via Office365. Next up is Stellenbosch.

Google says Allo
We've seen Google grow from a small company developing a search engine to one known for its groundbreaking work, developing not only technology for today, but also self-driving cars and virtual reality platforms for the future.
