In mid-January, we are going to begin the next phase of the Windows 
2000/Outlook Migration Projects.  In the first phase, we gathered information 
about the hardware and software that you are using within your group.  We are 
now in the process of testing any applications that have not been previously 
tested with Windows 2000.

The migration will happen in groups.  The Migration Leader will work with the 
Point of Contact for your group to set up a date for your group to be 
migrated to Windows 2000 and Outlook.  Before your group can migrate, we must:
? select convenient migration dates
? assure that all applications have been tested
? order and receive any necessary hardware
? arrange for necessary Windows 2000 and Outlook training

We will also send (via email) further information on features and other 
migration considerations regarding ETS, scheduled conversion from Lotus Notes 
to Microsoft Outlook.  This conversion will coincide with the Windows 2000 
operating system (OS) upgrade.  Microsoft Outlook 2000 integrates more 
effectively with the Windows 2000 OS and other Microsoft products.  Further, 
it provides a more robust mail platform.  

To prepare for the migration effort, we advise that you take a few minutes to 
do some data housekeeping.   As we move to the new environment, there will be 
mailbox size limits enforced.  We encourage you to review your Notes folders 
to eliminate any unnecessary files.  Also, you might want to review your data 
files, in both your work directory and any common directories you use, to 
assure you still have a need for them.   As you review these files, you 
should assure that you're retaining only business-related files.

We look forward to this exciting, beneficial effort.  You will be receiving 
more communications soon.  However, if you have any questions in the 
meantime, please give us a call.
