Status of Recommendations Recommendation 6: Identify and implement a solution to address the issue pertaining to diverting an assigned phone line.
Agency Response Dated April 23, 2021: OCIO has established a self-service Voice of Internet Protocol (VOIP) password solution that will allow users to set and/or reset their VoIP passwords. However, our current maximum telework environment due to COVID-19 and limited on-site support staff do not provide optimal conditions in which to implement and support this service. OCIO has chosen to delay implementation of the solution in order to ensure there is available customer service and technical support to support full implementation. It is OCIOs desire to implement this solution by the end of fiscal year 2021 but may experience further delay should the current Public Health Emergency extend into the next Fiscal Year.
Target Date for Completion: September 30, 2021.
OIG Analysis: The proposed actions meet the intent of this recommendation. This recommendation will be closed when the OIG confirms that the OCIO has implemented a solution that addresses the issue pertaining to diverting an assigned phone line.
Status: Open: Resolved.
