Information Technology Services (ITS) is now offering a new telephone service, MiCollab Softphone, for campus departments. MiCollab is a software application used on a mobile device or computer that allows you to make and answer calls using your UCSC campus extension but without the physical desk phone.
MiCollab benefits
- More flexibility and greater mobility for those people who are frequently on the go or work remotely.
- Make calls from your campus extension remotely using a desktop computer, laptop or mobile device.
- Receive calls to your campus extension remotely, using your desktop computer, laptop or mobile device.
- Calls are routed to/from UCSC phone numbers, not personal mobile phone numbers.
Requesting an account
Requesting a MiCollab Softphone account can be done through the Telephone Service Request form. There is a one-time fee to use the service. Before submitting a request, departments will want to consider whether staff should use MiCollab Softphone as a replacement for their campus desk phone and use their current extension, or to keep the desk phone and extension and add a new extension for MiCollab Softphone for an additional cost.
