We are now entering the transition phase of the Office365 project.
Centre by centre will be moved from Notes to Office 365. Again it's important to highlight that we are simply talking about emails and calendars in the main. Storage of files is part of phase two, and all other Domino/Notes applications TSA currently use (eBoards, BiAS, SABS, Connected, etc) will continue to be accessed the same way as per normal.
Below is what has been organised and we list this to help you understand what process iSG is following:
BEFORE THE ROLLOUT:
- Corps Officer/Centre Managers will be contacted by iSG with a list of all staff currently in our records for the site, and a full list of all rental machines being charged against your cost centre.
- This information needs to be checked by the site (either by the Corps Officer/Centre Manager or a person of their choosing) and a response sent back to iSG.
- Part of this process is also about confirming to iSG whether users are to have an E1 or E3 licence. If no reply is received, users will be provided with an E1 licence by default.
What are E1 and E3?
These refer to the type of Microsoft Office licence you are provided with as determined by your Budget Holder.
- E1 licences provide you with Outlook, Word and Excel online via your Chrome browser ie: iSG do not install Office on your computer.
- E3 licences provides the same as E1 and additionally, Office applications installed on the computer
Further information on the steps iSG are following will be published in subsequent blogs. Encourage others to subscribe so they can stay in touch with these notifications.
