California College of the Arts is about half way through our Workspace Storage Clean Up project. We were well over our quota but when we dug into the data, we discovered that around 73% of our storage was being used by Alumni. So our first stage was phasing out most of our Alumni accounts except for ...

Ken,That makes sense. We wanted to be able to set up a different group for each class that is piloting so we can easily manage the feature by roster. But if I can't find the magic sauce, your suggestion is a fairly easy work-around. - Eli .... ... .. . . . . . . . . . . . . ELI COCHRAN Sr. Director, ...

We moved off Mitel's UCAAS offering almost two years ago after they announced that they were transitioning their business over to RingCentral. We ended up deciding to go with Zoom Phone and we've been very happy with it. Phone usage is actually up from when we used Mitel. We were/are already big users ...

Here at CCA we're in the middle of a slow but deliberate transition from our old access control system (Millennium) to a new system (still tbd but the frontrunner is S2).

Curious how you manage shared passwords in 1Password? I've used 1Password for my personal passwords for more than a decade and I love it. But when we were evaluating 1Password for institutional use the sharing model fell short compared with other tools. We would have to create a separate vault in 1P ...

Hi Shawn, At California College of the Arts, we just started looking at this as well. I'm trying to decide whether it is better to sell off our extra IP space or rent it out.
