More information

The Calendar reservation system has been upgraded to the cloud-based Calcium Calendar, thanks to Dr. Bhuvanesh's efforts. The new system is managed by Brown Bear Software (www.brownbearsw.com). Brown Bear is a privately-owned, independent software firm located in Anchorage, Alaska, which has been producing, selling, and supporting cloud-based software solutions since 1994. Brown Bear Software is registered and approved by the State of Texas and Texas A&M University for use by departments, laboratories, and individuals at Texas A&M University. The software is secured with user/password protection (only registered users can view, modify, and edit the calendar) and is backed up by both Black Bear and the X-ray Facility.

The X-ray Facility underwent this change in the calendar to comply with the IT regulations set forth by both the State of Texas and Texas A&M University.

After evaluating the expenses associated with maintaining a new server and licensing the software, it was determined that utilizing an online cloud-based system would be more cost-effective.

Since the early 2000s, we have been using the local server-based Brown Bear Calcium calendar, and thus, the decision to transition to the Brown Bear cloud service was considered the most effective approach for ensuring compliance and enhancing usability.

All information technology rules and regulations of Texas A&M University (29.01.03.M0.02 Information Resources - Acceptable Use, University Rule 22) are applicable to all cloud-based software registered with the State of Texas. The X-ray facility will manage the calendar accounts; therefore, we kindly ask that you handle the cloud-based account with the same level of care as you would an official Texas A&M University account.

Thank you for your support.
