  4. Employee Email Next Steps • Current email environment • Outlook Live (Office 365) – Outsourced email and calendar for undergrads and alumni • Exchange 2007 on-premise email and calendar for employees, grad students, retirees, emeriti and guests • Issues with our current environment • Options • Office 365 – Microsoft-hosted • Upgrade our on-premise Exchange server

  5. 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

  6. Office 365 – Email/Calendar • Pros • Office 365 is a free service from Microsoft • 25 GB quotas • All email accounts (employee, undergrad, grad, alumni) hosted on a single system • Solves email account lifecycle management issues • Disaster recovery is part of SLA • Enhanced communication and collaboration services – Office 365 suite (optional, possibly with additional cost) • Office 365 is compliant with many world-class industry security standards, and verified by 3rd parties (HIPAA, ISO 27001, FISMA) • Standardize OIT infrastructure for future outsourcing /federation initiatives • Contractual commitment to no email content mining

  7. Office 365 – Email/Calendar • Outsourcing Risks/Concerns • Security and compliance issues (HIPAA, etc.) – BAA contract • Litigation holds • Where data is physically hosted • Who has access to data • Support – response time, escalation, etc. • We don’t have complete control over the environment as we would an on-premise system (upgrades, maintenance windows, etc.) • Exit strategy • Office 365 is a relatively new service from Microsoft • Technical Concerns • Bandwidth • End to end problem management • Spam management • Compromised accounts/sending limits • Outages
