Description

The existing enterprise file storage system (MESA M: Drive) reached end of life. The project team was to identify the best migration paths and to migrate resources/services hosted on the MESA M: Drive to the Microsoft 365 Cloud environment or the on-premises Patriot Drive. This project team had a monumental task at hand. They absolutely delivered at every single turn. Some expected and anticipated, some very much not and out of their own control. The number of teams involved, the incredibly delicate nature of the MESA2 environment, the prospect of the opportunity of cloud-first file storage but also associated governance and security needs, all together proved to be a monumental challenge; that this team absolutely crushed and succeeded in delivering is a kudos and testament to every last individual involved. This team absolutely deserves without a doubt, the recognition of winning the Extraordinary Achievement Award. This is a humble group that doesn’t need it, but 100000% deserves it. Thank you so much to everyone who put their all into this successful effort. We salute you!

Description

The GMU-TV team only delivers the highest quality work. They put their all into every effort. I am continually impressed! GMU-TV provides such amazing content that they are often approached by stakeholders with needs outside of their scope. Regardless, the team works with the stakeholder and finds a way to assist without compromising services to the teaching and learning, and research mission of the university.
