After much preliminary groundwork with an early adopter group, CEU’s IT Department is now ready to begin phase #3 of the Microsoft Office 365 implementation project, which involves migrating all faculty, staff and PhD students at CEU to the new Microsoft Office 365 system - a process that should be complete by the end of this academic year. The new system will offer not only a robust, state-of-the-art e-mail system, but also significantly greater storage space for e-mails and documents, powerful collaboration possibilities and accessibility on a variety of devices.
In phase #1 of the migration project, 850 new students started using the system in September 2015. In phase #2 starting in October 2015, early adopter working groups consisting of 8 faculty members, 52 staff volunteers and 33 IT Department colleagues tested the new services, identified best practices and fine-tuned the system.
Migration to the new system should be a seamless process, without members of the CEU community will be able to use their email service throughout. The IT Department will be offering information and training sessions to assist with the transition. Once individual preferences are assessed, the IT Department will prepare and announce the migration schedule.
