Groupwise Email and Calendaring Accounts Moving to MS Exchange

<< View all IT at Emory News Headlines

A significant milestone for the unification of email and calendaring at Emory will be met on Friday, December 7, when all 13,000 Emory Healthcare (EHC) and School of Medicine (SOM) clinical faculty and staff who use Groupwise for email and calendaring will have their accounts moved from GroupWise to the Microsoft Exchange platform. Groupwise users who have Eagle email accounts will also have their accounts migrated at this time.

The approach used to migrate the accounts offers significant benefits. It is the most commonly used strategy worldwide for efforts of this kind, leverages the experience of other institutions, and is expected to cut deployment costs by $200,000. A major advantage for users is that instead of having to conduct business with co-workers during a segmented migration that could extend over a three-month window, all employees in the EHC enterprise will immediately have common access to their new Exchange email and calendaring accounts.

To access existing GroupWise email before it has been migrated to the Exchange environment, use GroupWise WebAccess at https://webmail.emory.org.
