Step 4:
Other Desktop Productivity Software
and the New Daylight Saving Time Law

 

Synopsis:
Computer Services has made every effort to identify software applications in use on campus that may be affected by the new DST law.  The preceding pages deal with the potential affects of the DST change on operating systems, office productivity software and internet connectivity software.

Computer Services has also researched other desktop productivity software applications that are known to be in use on campus to see if any of them have DST-compliance issues.  This research has, for the most part, turned up very little information.  Most third-party software vendors do not appear to be addressing the DST issue at all (with a few notable exceptions).
 

Procedure:
Computer Services urges all UM faculty and staff to think about the software they use at work that had not been addressed in the preceding pages and to contact their vendors regarding DST-compliance.

For your convenience, you can find a table showing the results of the research that has already been done here.
 

As always, Computer Services is available to help with any potential DST issues.  Please feel free to call the Computer Services Help Desk at (205) 665-6520 or send an email to helpdesk@montevallo.edu.
