Office365 for Education

We are evaluating the same move and I would appreciate it if we can be included in the discussion.

Tilmon, I would be happy to share what I learn with you.  Can you reach out to me again in a couple weeks, and I suspect that by then I will have accumulated a number of opinions?  Thanks.  Greg.

We are also looking at that migration. Please include me as well. Thanks.

We are currently on live@edu and have to plan a migration to 365 for some time next fall. live@edu is being discontinued

We are starting our migration now with the intention of completing by fall 2013. I would be happy to discuss the experience.

Cheers,

Russ

We are currently a live@edu customer and are migrating to Office 365 in June. We have a formal project underway and we are working with a 3^rd party consulting company that is assisting us. We would be happy to talk to anyone who is interested in hearing where we are at in the process.

It is also safe to tell everyone that moving from a localized messaging environment to Microsoft’s cloud-based solution has been pain free and very gratifying.  Over the two years we’ve been using live@edu we’ve had two outages (very brief) and we’ve freed up system administrators time that is better served than spent working on a commodity technology service.

We moved both students and faculty/staff email to the service.

Thanks,

Jeff

According to the 2012 ECAR report The 2011 Enterprise Application Market in Higher Education (http://net.educause.edu/ir/library/pdf/ers1206/ers1206.pdf), Microsoft Live@edu/Office 265/WinLive/BPOS has 2% of the faculty/staff e-mail market share and 20% of the student e-mail market share.

CDS 2011 participants that completed Module 8: Information Systems/ERP in have identifiable access to these data (accessible - http://www.educause.edu/research-and-publications/research/core-data-service/download-data).  CDS 2012 participants that completed Module 8 will be able to access these data via the 2012 data download and the CDS Reporting tool in a few weeks. 

We are planning to move to Office 365 soon as well and would love to be part of the conversation.

Louisiana State University completed a migration from Exchange 2003 to O365 in November.  We’d be happy to share our experience. 

Best,

We are looking to move our mail from an on-premises Exchange 2007 installation to a cloud-based Office365 version.  If any of you have done something similar, would you or someone on your team be open to an offline conversation to share your experiences?  Thanks much.  Greg.
