By Kyeland Jackson —
The university’s next prudent move is electronic.
U of L will swap its email service for Office 365 Outlook, a cloud-based version of its current service.
It’s a big project, affecting approximately 90 servers, 80 terabytes of data and 13,000 email accounts within 18 months, and it’s underway. The university has systematically notified departments, swapping accounts days after notifying users. Keith Stevenson, an interim assistant director for U of L’s Information Technology department, said the migration is a good move which avoids $120,000 normally spent upgrading email servers.
