District Councillors Accessing E-mails and Internet

The current Good application that allows Councillors to access Council emails on their iPads will expire soon and is being replaced by two applications called Boxer and Browser.

 

Boxer gives access to email and Browser allows access to the internet and Council intranet which is not currently available with the Good application.

 

Please could all Councillors that use Good contact the 3C ICT Service Desk team as soon as possible to arrange a mutually convenient time to have the new applications installed on their devices?
