IZUS/TIK offers a central video conferencing solution for all employees and - subject to funding - all students at the University of Stuttgart. While offering such is a permanent item our service portfolio, the products and services used to provide the same are regularly evaluated regarding functionality, performance, reliability, security, data protection, operability, cost-effectiveness, etc. to best fit the demand and requirements of the University. Any changes will be announced ahead of time so that users can prepare for those, especially for our more complex usage scenarios such as online courses. The Webex service, which is currently the primary service used, is licensed until June 31, 2026.
Due to data protection aspects we further recommend to exchange internal documents if possible via the services Exchange, Ilias or F*EX, which are operated by the TIK, or via the bw-service bwSync&Share.
