What is the Business Problem or Opportunity

The Administrative Office of the Courts is currently licensed for Office 2021, which is referred to as an “On Premise” solution. Office 2021 reaches its end of life in October 2026. The current version of Skype for Business and SharePoint that AOC currently utilizes will be reaching end of life sooner (Skype for Business on January 9, 2024 and SharePoint on September 1, 2024). Since the Administrative Office of the Courts is not on Office 365, we are also unable to adequately utilize Microsoft Teams, a tool used by the majority of the state agencies.
Office 365 is a cloud suite of applications and services, offered by Microsoft to companies of all sizes. Currently, at the Administrative Office of the Courts and the Court of Appeals, Office applications like Outlook, Word, and Excel are run and managed locally, but with Office 365 all of these tools plus more are available in a cloud hosted solution. Companies pay subscriptions fees for the services they want, depending on the number of users they have.

Expected Benefit:

• Office 365 is a cloud-based solution that allows users to access their documents anytime/anywhere.
• Built-in sharing and collaboration features of Office 365 makes it suitable for modern work environments.
• Office 365, users can access their data from anywhere.
• Office 365 is supported by Microsoft while their current on-site products will not be.
• Additional Tools, like SharePoint, Teams, Yammer, etc. work seamlessly together.
