Office365 and OneDrive
• Announcement yesterday of OneDrive
(formerly SkyDrive) being updated from

this; only faculty/staff would receive this
benefit in its current form
– There are contract concerns with OneDrive
that need to be resolved
Office365
• Where do we go from here?
– OCIO is working on technical issues to
provide access
– Students are the first priority, then Fac/Staff

individual departments could buy licenses
