Taking Employee E-Mail to the Cloud with Office 365

Prince George's Community College (PGCC) began an E-Mail Migration Project in spring 2012 to move employee e-mail from Novell GroupWise to Exchange/Outlook in the cloud (Microsoft Office 365). This presentation should interest institutions also considering taking their employee e-mail solution to the cloud. Many institutions have subscribed to Google or Microsoft in the cloud for students, but taking the employee e-mail solution to the cloud is viewed as posing a greater risk. PGCC has overcome these security challenges by taking additional precautions to mitigate potential problems. These are detailed in the presentation.
