Information Technology Healthcare Exchange Update Karen Jenkins
20
Information Technology Approach Migrate all GroupWise users to Exchange Migrate SOM GroupWise users that also have Eagle mail into a single Exchange account Automate migration at server level to minimize disruption to individual desktops Provide dedicated support center during migration 19
21
Information Technology Initial specifics 300MB high performance storage for all users, archiving available for all users Residents are in scope for the current rollout Email/calendaring options are Outlook on Windows or Entourage on Mac; Will also provide IMAP-S option for other email clients We are still investigating the best way to stage the rollout for Eagle mail users Units that provide their own email services will be encouraged to migrate to the Exchange offering in the future Learnlink will remain for now, but we are investigating alternatives for FY09 20
22
Information Technology Email addresses All users, both faculty and staff, that have multiple Groupwise and Eagle accounts, will be migrated to one Exchange account Incoming email aliases for @emoryhealthcare.org and @emory.edu will remain. Additional aliases will be added for firstname.lastname for both domains. Only one outgoing email address is possible. For faculty & staff that have accounts in both emoryhealthcare.org as well as emory.edu, the latter will be set as the default outbound address. 21
23
Information Technology PDAs and Smartphones There will be a variety of mechanisms for syncing PDAs and Smartphones with Exchange, although the age of the device may limit what is possible. Faculty/staff will be able to take advantage of these options, but will be billed if they choose a premium service. Options will include: Cradle or WiFi sync using a product such as MS ActiveSync, MS Mobile Device Center or Palm HotSync Manager For those with a data plan on their SmartPhone, options will include: Native MS Active sync for Windows XP (no charge) Native MS Mobile Device Center sync for Windows Vista (no charge) Blackberry Enterprise Server (premium service with monthly charge) Motorola Good Mobile Messaging (premium service with monthly charge) 22
24
Information Technology Schedule Begin migration late May End migration early August Migrate users Monday - Friday Use (3) six hour migration windows per day Will not migrate during hospital and clinic shift changes Group and schedule each department sequentially Spread department users across migration windows 23
25
Information Technology Communication Being discussed at executive leadership meetings General announcement via email, newsletter articles, internal press release, news item on IT website Full feature Emory Report Article in March Postcard mailing will be sent to all GroupWise users Posters will be displayed throughout EHC locations Frequent email reminders to each user regarding migration date 24
26
Information Technology Training Multiple open house seminars at various sites offered throughout the migration period Multiple advanced seminars for super users such as administrative assistants Distributed tip sheets, identifying differences between GroupWise and OutLook Online information, user guide, FAQs, tip sheets, training locations and schedule, migration schedule Other Suggestions? 25
