We were an early AD Migration partner with the DoIT Campus Active Directory Services (CADS) team with a complex, split local AD domain and existing CAD infrastructure. We were able to successfully migrate all our staff and systems based on a strong partnership and collaboration with the CADS team with open and frequent communication. We now have all our staff and systems on Campus Active Directory, which has simplified our IT support processes and enabled NetID login for all our staff.

The volunteer members of the project advisory group consult with the project team to advise, guide, offer feedback, and share expertise with the team. They are responsible for offering recommendations, assisting with change management efforts, and monitoring progress and quality assurance.
