The project to transition UCOP to Outlook for e-mail is wrapping up.
About 1,200 UCOP employees are now using Outlook. The only departments
left to be migrated are the Budget Office, the Immediate Offices of
the President and the Provost, Secretary of the Regents, and Technology
Transfer. Several of them will migrate this weekend and next week.
The Outlook e-mail migration will be completed in August, at which
point we will convert everyone to the Outlook calendar. We intend
to train PC coordinators and executive support staff in using the
Outlook calendar just before we launch it. Afterwards, we will offer
calendar training to everyone. In September or October, we will start
ongoing instruction in Outlook e-mail at the beginning and intermediate
levels.
I am aware that current e-mail storage limits are a concern for a
number of you. I want you to know that IR&C is researching solutions
so that we may provide additional storage capacity in the near future.
If you have questions about the migration, you may contact me at 987-0371
or the Technology Service Desk at 987-0457 or TechDesk@ucop.edu.
