1. Novell GroupWise email will no longer be supported
after November 22nd. Instead, we will be using Microsoft Outlook 2016 as our
email client.
2. We will be upgrading the entire Office suite from
Office 2010 to Office 2016.
All of your prior email, contacts, and calendars from
GroupWise will be both accessible and fully searchable from within Office
365.
Most of the programs in O365 are products we already use
on a daily basis (Word, Excel, PowerPoint), and the majority of features you use
now will largely stay the same. Still, it is good for everyone who regularly
uses these products to brush up on the changes that come with O365 and Office
2016. Please use the following links at your convenience to familiarize
yourself with the new products:
- Learn Your Way Around Office 365
- Office 2016 Quick Start Guides (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, and OneNote)
- What’s New and Improved in Office 2016 (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, and OneNote)
- Email and Calendar on the Go (Outlook)
- Office Training Center
We have rolled out a channel in
the MyGateway portal under the Employee tab, titled "District Services
O365," with the above links to the information as
well.
