What to call early uptake group?

[forkies]

I want to create a group for some of my staff to sign up to to get early access to our development program. We are yet to roll out Windows 10 and I thought this would be a perfect opportunity for it. The idea is staff sign up to this group and they get first access to test new software before we roll it out to the whole school staff, the first thing this group would have access to is Windows 10 and Office 2016.

 

I want to call it something creative and cool (non of which I can think of) to make staff interested. So far I have thought of just boring "IT Early Access group". Any better ideas for a name?

 

TIA,

Tom

I'd go with "guinea pigs".

How about... Victims... Test Subjects... Test Pilots

Hate the phrase but here it seems to be "XYZ Champions", so Technology Champions, Literature Champions etc etc

I just approach the people who like shiny things and ask them if they want to be a guinea pig. SLT often fall victim to the "leading by example" ploy.
