* Digital Services Pricing
Rick McNeely,

Director, Biomedical Communications,

University of Arizona

 

   
 

 As many formerly analog products and services evolve into new digital and PC-based services, biomedical communications departments find they must assign prices for these items. This session will provide information on pricing protocols used at the University of Arizona for such services and will allow for discussion of pricing practices at other institutions. Participants are invited to bring their own pricing solutions to share with others during this informal session.

 * Getting Along with the 800 Lbs. Gorilla - managing end user PowerPoint usage

Samuel Giannavola

Director, Media Services
University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences

 

According to Presentation Magazine about 85% of all presentations done in the US in the year 2000 were created with Microsoft's PowerPoint. Our clients use it for everything from making 35mm slides to posters to yearbooks (yes, I have a client who did that!!). It is powerful, low cost, easy to use and everywhere. By using a series of classes, handouts, and tutorials this presentation will show how one media department didn't exactly tame the beast, but at least came to a mutual understanding.

Internal cost-recovery services face significant communications challenges.

The talk will recount our experiences marketing IT and media services within the Yale-New Haven Medical Center, with an emphasis on how cross-media marketing campaigns can effectively reach both existing and potential customers.
