User Impact
DoDEA is committed to student excellence and ensuring our staff and students have the best technology resources and tools for success. That's why DoDEA is implementing Microsoft 365, which allows you to collaborate effectively, anywhere and at any time - securely.User Impact
All DoDEA staff will eventually have Microsoft 365 access. The rollout starts with Office online applications and Microsoft Teams access for DoDEA IT and early adopters. Microsoft Teams includes access to the collaboration hub as well as access to the Office online products: Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote, etc.
Implementation for above-school-level staff will occur School Year 2020-2021. The governance team and Education advisers will make recommendations to DoDEA leadership regarding school and classroom implementation.
Phased Implementation
Phased Implementation
Microsoft core online applications (Office 365 online) and Microsoft Teams will be implemented in a layered and phased approach. IT and select divisions at the HQ level will make up the initial early adopter phase during the summer of 2020. The early adopter phase will be followed by the headquarters, region and district staff. Additional phases will bring more capabilities and users into the Microsoft 365 environment.
Skype and Microsoft Teams Comparison
Microsoft Teams will replace Skype for Business (i.e. Lync). Teams includes access to the Office online collaboration products: Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote, etc.
The first round of implementation does not include Outlook (mail nor calendar) nor access to your existing local files. Full email, calling and calendar capabilities will be phased in per user.

Office 365: Online Applications
Office 365: Online Applications
With Office 365, you can access a simplified version of the traditional desktop productivity and workplace applications that you know as well as some that you may find helpful in your daily work. Core apps are listed below. However, once you are implemented you can find these and more on the Microsoft Office Portal.
Limitations and Constraints: Full email (Outlook), calendar and file access will be available in a later phase. The initial phase of implementation does not include Outlook (mail nor calendar) nor syncing or moving of your existing local files within OneDrive. Microsoft 365 also has no connection. Microsoft 365 also does not impact Google access nor availability. DoDEA will have both Microsoft 365 and Google in our environment.
