Office 365 Migration Update

Monday, April 14, 2014

Good Afternoon All,

We began work on the Office 365 project in early May of last year and initiated migrations from Groupwise to Office 365 in early January of this year. I am pleased to announce that considerable progress has been made; the storage available to Office 365 users has been doubled from 25GB to 50GB and we have surpassed the 40% mark on the number of migrations completed. Please click here or follow the link below for a detail view of our migration progress.

The above page will be updated on Wednesday of every week until the completion of the project.

As some of you are aware, the office 365 migration is not simply a migration from the use of the Groupwise e-mail system, but is also a migration from Windows XP to Windows 7.0. Additionally, this is a migration to the latest version of Office. All users are encouraged to make us of the Office 365 website and FAQ found here or by visiting the link below;

We are also pleased to announce that a Windows 7 image for laptops is now available and that all standard desktops and laptops ordered through the Dell Premier page will be pre-loaded with our image.
