<p>Better, faster, cheaper -- three words that could make any CIO cringe.</p><p>Charged with applying these words to a new email system, however, University of Nebraska CIOWalter Weir accepted the challenge and upped the ante. Within a year's time, his IT team moved13,000 staff and faculty members from an on-premises legacy Lotus Notes system to a cloud-basedsolution. The cloud migration cut the cost to IT of providing and supporting email nearly in half,and will save the university an additional $2 million over the next five years. The bonus? In thesix months since those 13,000 people started on the new system, Weir has fielded exactly fourcomplaints.</p><p>"The calls I've gotten have been relatively minor -- 'I used to be able to see this and this onthe same screen, now I can't.' I tell them how to do it and they're OK," Weir said.</p><p>How did he pull off adopting a new technology with hardly a hitch? There was no magic to it,Weir is quick to point out. Old-fashioned planning and projectmanagement, along with a deep knowledge of his team's technical capabilities, made itpossible.</p><p><a href="http://searchcio.techtarget.com/news/2240164427/A-CIO-blueprint-for-cloud-migration">Keep reading...</a></p>
