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

27 Information Technology Migration Questions  Website: http://it.emory.edu/ehc-exchange  Email: ehc-exchange@emory.edu  Project team member will respond to email within 2 business days  Phone: 8-INFO(4636)  Leave voicemail message  Project team member will return call return your call the next business day 26
