The University of the Philippines System is pleased to announce the renewal of our video conferencing services through the System Procurement unit. This decision is based on the end-user request of the Office of the Vice President for Academic Affairs (OVPAA), along with the consensus reached by the Presidential Advisory Committee in consultation with the OVPAA, the Office of the Vice President for Development (OVPD) / Information Technology Development Center (ITDC), and the System’s Digital Transformation Adviser.
We have chosen to renew our service contract with Zoom Communications, our current videocon provider, to ensure the continuity of our video conferencing services. The contract term for this renewal will be for nine months, from July 8, 2023, until April 8, 2024. This duration will complete the standard 1-year contract after the recent 3-month extension.
We strongly encourage all university community members to continue using the video conferencing platform to its full potential. Please take advantage of all the functions and features it offers to ensure uninterrupted communication and collaboration for both educational and administrative purposes. By renewing our commitment to video conferencing services, we aim to provide a seamless and efficient virtual environment that supports the needs of our academic community.
UP users are still advised to use alternative video conferencing tools, such as Google Meet, MS Teams, and Webex. To know more about these alternatives, please click this link: https://bit.ly/VideoConTools
