Employee Email Next Steps

and calendar for undergrads and alumni

calendar for employees, grad students,
retirees, emeriti and guests

OIT Recommendation
• Office 365 offers many efficiency gains and feature
enhancements as well as potential risks
• OIT hassuccessfully been running an outsourced email
system for over 200,000 students and alumni since 2008
• The decision on the future of email hosting at Ohio
University is an institutional decision
– OIT, Distributed IT, Executives, Deans, FTAG, Legal, Risk
Management
• OIT recommends a consolidated email environment
hosted on Office 365. If the risks of moving employee
email to Office 365 outweigh the benefits, OIT
recommends upgrading our current on-premise Exchange
environment and revisiting this decision at a later point in
time
