Marian students, faculty, staff, and alumni can use SPSS on campus or off campus on home machines so long as they are affiliated with Marian University Fond du Lac. New Projects In the near future, we will perform an upgrade to Time Clock Plus that will allow e- filing of Timesheets/Vacation Forms in addition to upgraded student time tracking features. There are a lot of exciting things going on here in IT Services. We continue to work with others in process improvement such as the faculty development grant application process and the adjunct faculty contract process. Our goal is to empower and support areas of the organization as efficiently as possible. I also want to recognize and give kudos to the CASE office for their efforts over the summer. Prior to this year IT has been responsible for maintaining the testing environments. This summer, the CASE office (specifically Cathy M, Joyce S, Jeri) took the initiative to learn and update the testing systems of various vendors. Through this effort they were independently able to update both the Fond du Lac campus and the Appleton campus. We were glad to field a few phone calls! This is one example where a little training will have long term payoffs. Great job CASE group! We’ve accomplished this in addition to multiple summer SOAR events, supporting UBMS Students, CSA, EAA, and some other events that took place over the summer. We’re not done yet - Please stay tuned for more as we continue moving forward while keeping the lights on! What’s Happening? We have some new workshops and user groups we think you will find very helpful. See below for details.

All depending on which Office 365 licensing model your organiza- tion uses, Office 365 consists of many standalone applications, such as Teams, Yammer, OneDrive, Office Online, Sway, Planner, SharePoint Online, Exchange, Skype for Business, Stream, Flow and it seems like there is a new icon available each time you log into your Office 365 dashboard. No doubt that each application has great functionality that are brought into play as elements that strengthen the digitization in the organiza- tions. However, the problem with the elements in Office 365 is, that they to a great extent are missing a glue that logically ties them together.
