Project Timeline
Information Technology is happy to report that the migration to Microsoft 365 is complete. All email and Skype for Business accounts were moved successfully to Microsoft 365.
Email migration involved many moving parts, and in some cases, account owners must reconfigure their devices with the new service. Your cooperation and participation were key to the success of the project. The project team thanks you for your support during this migration phase.
We are excited that everyone will now have the opportunity to take advantage of the on-going releases from Microsoft that will happen in the coming months. We hope you appreciate the additional email storage as well:
- 100 GB of email storage with enhanced email security features
- 1 TB of file cloud storage on OneDrive
At this time, we are working on the third phase of the project delivering more services. We are offering training opportunities to learn about the new capabilities of Microsoft 365, as well as major offerings during this phase of the project.
