91´ÎÔª (MCC) is transitioning all faculty, staff, and student email to Microsoft Exchange Online (Office 365). This project consolidates the college’s existing systems, Exchange 2019 for employees and Google Workspace for students, into a unified, secure, and cloud-based environment.

The migration supports MCC’s 2025-2030 Strategic Plan by enhancing communication, improving operational efficiency, and strengthening security with multi-factor authentication, advanced spam protection, and seamless integration with Teams and OneDrive. Students and employees will benefit from larger mailbox capacities, shared calendars, and consistent tools for collaboration and remote learning. The project will be completed with minimal disruption to academic operations and aligns with MCC’s commitment to investing in modern, safe, and reliable technology infrastructure.

This project is a crucial step in 91´ÎÔª’s (MCC) long-term IT strategy, streamlining identity management, reducing administrative overhead, and enhancing user experience. By consolidating user identities into a single domain, authentication will be simplified, reducing login-related support issues.

This integration enables full synchronization with Microsoft and Google services, facilitating the migration of faculty and staff email to Office 365, improving scheduling and collaboration tools, and enhancing email security. Faculty will also gain better access to Microsoft’s education tools, enriching student engagement. A unified domain will support seamless campus-wide printing, simplify IT management, and enforce consistent security policies. Ultimately, this consolidation lays the foundation for modernizing services, strengthening security, and improving digital operations for faculty, staff, and students.
