The challenge
What had to change
With over 26,000 email accounts spread over four campuses needing to be migrated to the latest version of Microsoft Exchange, information technology resources at the college were fully committed with other projects and did not have the time or expertise to tackle the project. GPC was using two disparate email systems, Lotus Notes and PMDF, both having limitations as to scalability, high availability and integration to Microsoft Office. In addition, the college wanted to have a more secure and maintainable front-end.
The BlueAlly solution
How the work came together
One of the requirements that Georgia Perimeter College insisted on was to partner with a Microsoft Partner with planning and deployment expertise working with MIIS 2003/ILM 2007 for synchronization between open LDAP and Active Directory. This type of experience is rarely found in even some of the largest consulting organizations. Consultants at BlueAlly were able to get the migration accomplished in approximately ninety days, a timeline that included planning, setting up security, migration and testing.
The results
What changed
Today, GPC is able to provide students, faculty, administrators and other stakeholders with a robust, secure and maintainable commercial email system.
