Google Apps Transition <http://www.d.umn.edu/itss/news/2011/may.html#google>
    If you are among the remaining faculty and staff who are not already
    in Google Apps, we encourage to make the transition as soon as you
    can. Automated migrations from legacy email into Google Apps will
    begin after spring semester.
Active Directory Project <http://www.d.umn.edu/itss/news/2011/may.html#ad>
    We have continued working with collegiate units to add their faculty
    and staff workstations to Active Directory services (AD). During the
    summer months, we expect to move an additional 750 or more Windows
    workstations into AD for the remaining units on campus.
Secure Wireless <http://www.d.umn.edu/itss/news/2011/may.html#wireless>
    ITSS is testing a new on-campus secure wireless service (UMD-Secure)
    this spring. The secure wireless network provides the best security
    for your laptop or handheld device.
Long Distance Caller-ID <http://www.d.umn.edu/itss/news/2011/may.html#phone>
    A new phone service, along with phone system changes, now allows us
    to send Caller-ID with each call.
