The days when the Information Technology department was an unreachable, distant entity on the other side of Banghoek Road, are long gone. Since 2010 we’ve been pulling out all the stops and making an extra effort to ensure that there’s ample communication and interaction with all our clients and users on campus.
At the beginning of September (i.e. next week) we’re shaking winter’s dust from our shoes and entering yet another new era of communication. In future IT will no longer only reach you by e-mail, but also through MFM’s radio waves.
With an audience of 30 000 listeners between the ages of 14 and 28, there’s no doubt that IT will reach a much younger market, in particular students. This new means of communication provides us with the opportunity to speak to a larger portion of our users on campus and to get more involved with student issues.
So, from next week Tuesday at 11:45 there will be a bi-weekly special IT slot on MFM during the AM-PM-show. Since Bits & Bytes is steadily becoming an established brand, the slot will also be known as Bits & Bytes.
Die dae wat die Informasietegnologie-afdeling die onbereikbare entiteit aan die ander kant van Banghoekweg is, is lank reeds verby. Sedert 2010 het ons `n aktiewe poging begin aanwend om kommunikasie en interaksie met die res van kampus en almal aan wie ons `n diens lewer, te verbeter.
Begin September skud ons die winter se stof van ons voete en betree `n nuwe era van kommunikasie. Voortaan sal IT jou nie net bereik met e-pos nie, maar ook oor MFM se radiogolwe.
Met `n gehoor van 30 000 luisteraars tussen die ouderdom van 14-28 ouderdomsgroep, is daar geen twyfel dat IT `n jonger mark, en spesifiek studente sal bereik nie. Dié nuwe kommunikasiekanaal gee aan ons die geleentheid om `n groter deel van ons gebruikers op kampus te bereik en meer betrokke te raak by studentekwessies.
