Thanks for opening a discussion on this, Jarret. My FA folks (who are a magnificent bunch) are going to be burnt out with this. To compound our specific problem, we are in the midst of an ERP transition; it promises to be a wild ride! Regards, George George Abraham, Chief Information Officer ...

We have used PA911 also as a 'helper' with developing Power Apps. Very good to work with and their mentorship tier is, I think, a good one. I just wish they were on South Carolina State Contract! George George Abraham, Chief Information Officer Greenville Technical College Greenville, ...

At least based on the toolsets available to us peasants, the ability of robots (specialized or generalized) to do all work (however you want to define work) seems a way off. LLMs are not AGI, so even the intelligence seems to be a way off. The proliferation of tools and toolsets around these LLMs and ...

Hi all, I am a bit outside my comfort zone on the infrastructure side of things, so I apologize if I am getting any nomenclature wrong. I assume that the way most institutions are provisioning their employees in MS Teams is by using groups in Active Directory. In our institution, we envision one ...

Some of the respondents have given you some excellent points to think on. I would add one more aspect – licensing. Whichever decision you decide to make, you may have to devote a lot of brainpower to figuring out what licensing for the platform or associated integrations/bolt-ons looks like. It tends ...

A large portion of institutions have moved to products like Google Workspace or M365 where email for students is ...

Colleagues, Some of you have been extremely generous with your time in responding about this topic; very gratifying.
