2 Background Benefits & Timeline Microsoft Live@edu Demo Q & A

3 Why cloud email and calendar services? Less expensive by 50% Better performance and reliability More features behind-the-scenes and for end-users communications, collaboration, office productivity tools are standard and integrated How did we decide? 2008 division team research & calendar team 2009 watchful waiting by PIR management 2010 decision to go with Microsoft for students, faculty and staff

4 Division Team Key Findings (2008) Google Apps or Microsoft Exchange both technically viable Need to do entire campus population to get financial benefit Should wait for Identity & Access Management to be in place Information shared with University Senates

5 Watchful Waiting (2009) Monitored professional literature, list serves, meetings Educause Gartner, Inc. Chronicle IT Leadership Board AJCU CITM Identity & Access Management Phase 1 Plans and funding in place

6 Why Microsoft? (2010) Provides an enterprise-level solution addressing needs of students, faculty, and administration Integrates with existing systems and software tools used by IT and campus community Robust feature set – calendar, mobile use important factors in decision Concerns about privacy issues with Google Google is an advertising based model Microsoft email/file storage can remain in U.S. jurisdiction

7 Do campus members have other options? Students can continue to forward University email account to their own preferred email provider Faculty can forward University email, files, etc to an alternate provider, except content that is covered by FERPA regulations Staff should not be using electronic services other than those authorized by the University to conduct University business
