ITS is working with departments across campus to migrate all shared files into a new software called Microsoft Teams. Microsoft Teams is a product that combines tools and resources such as group chat, calendars, and file sharing into one location using the Office 365 platform. Teams offers a better way to access shared files and work collaboratively. If your area doesn’t have shared files, but you think this could be a useful addition, you can submit a Collaboration Site (Microsoft Team) Request.

As part of the project, we’re offering open sessions for faculty and staff who either want to learn more about Teams, or who have been using Teams and have questions. No need to RSVP, but if you have questions, please contact Carla.herling@drake.edu or Jeffrey.regan@drake.edu.
