Microsoft has strongly documented Office 365, from uses for administration to end user adoption techniques. The issue ORNL came across was therefore twofold: documentation and tool availability. These national networks, with tighter controls and specific security requirements, continue to have a delay in feature release to ensure that the features are properly hardened against the US Government’s requirements. Office 365 is offered in a number of “flavors” including the national tenants GCC, GCC-H, and DOD, all offered to US Government and related contractors and partners. Technologically, ORNL recognize the many benefits of a centralized tool focused on end-user collaboration that took advantage of existing solutions on SharePoint however, they also identified a number of concerns early on which they knew would hinder the adoption process: relevancy. But when they realized that they could get all the benefits of being in Skype with Microsoft Teams-as well as additional features such as file collaboration-they took the plunge into Office 365. ORNL previously integrated Skype into their environment when it was still Lync, and for years ORNL used workaround solutions and found their staff utilizing shadow IT to get their work done. However, while the staff focused on mission objectives, the organization had their own problem to take care of: transforming their team collaboration. ![]() ORNL’s mission is to conduct basic and applied research to deliver transformative solutions to compelling problems in energy and security that span a broad range of scientific and engineering disciplines. Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) is the largest science and technology lab sponsored by the Department of Education. ![]() When the new date is announced, Jay looks forward to sharing this information live at the conference with updates wherever possible. With the delay of the conference due to the COVID 19 pandemic, we’ve decided to turn these presentations into articles. It pairs with “ SOL2 – Office 3655 and Microsoft Teams Adoption for the Real World (Government Edition)” that Jay Leask was scheduled to give at SharePoint Fest DC, April 13-17 2020. This article was originally written by Jay Leask posted on the AvePoint blog. ![]()
