Morehouse College’s existing Microsoft infrastructure had become outdated and difficult to manage. The platform’s lack of modern collaboration tools, limited storage, and increasing maintenance needs hindered productivity and strained IT resources. The college required a scalable, cloud-based solution that could meet the needs of its growing population while reducing operational overhead. Additionally, the college had been through a downsizing of personnel, and brought on a new, visionary CIO – all requiring strategy alignment and team alliance.

After an in-depth assessment of Morehouse College’s needs, BlueAlly designed a migration plan to transition the college’s entire email system to Microsoft Office 365. This cloud-based solution provided the college with a more reliable, secure, and scalable platform while reducing the burden on its IT department. BlueAlly led the migration effort, including the move of 3,000 mailboxes to the new system, all while minimizing disruption to the college’s daily operations.

BlueAlly also provided tailored training to faculty and staff to ensure a smooth adoption of Office 365’s advanced collaboration features, such as OneDrive and SharePoint. These tools allowed for greater flexibility and productivity, aligning with the college’s vision for a modern educational experience.

The migration to Office 365 provided Morehouse College with several key benefits:
