Late this summer, HITS will upgrade its mobile device management software (currently Intelligent Hub) to Microsoft Intune - after which, users will be able to use Microsoft mobile applications to access M365 (in addition to using their desktop applications or visiting ).

This upgrade does not include Microsoft Teams, which is coming later and will eventually replace Skype for Business.

For now, Outlook email/calendar information will continue to access data from on-premises services.

The Office 365 + OneDrive upgrade does not include Outlook cloud integration.

As you begin using Office 365 + OneDrive on a CoreImage Windows laptop, any files in your Desktop folder (or in your Documents or Images folders) will automatically back up to OneDrive so they are available across devices or by logging in at.

You’ll gain powerful new capabilities including the ability to create, manage, access and share documents in the cloud, and the ability to collaborate in real-time with other Michigan Medicine Office 365 + OneDrive users.

You may notice some “look-and-feel” differences when using these familiar Office programs.

Office 365 provides many of the same tools you use today - Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote, Access and Outlook - along with OneDrive (cloud storage), but packages them in a more powerful and collaborative way.

Once enabled, you can also access these tools, along with SharePoint Online, at with your email address and Michigan Medicine (Level-2) password.

If you are already logged into the Campus (Level-1) Office 365 instance, you will need to log out and sign in with your email address and Michigan Medicine (Level-2) password.

CoreImage Mac (v2 or later) users can access Office 365 + OneDrive with their existing tools by logging in using their email address and Michigan Medicine (Level-2) password.

The upgrade will occur in “waves.” When it’s your turn, you’ll see a notification prompting you to follow these steps to install. You can then begin using Office 365 + OneDrive by logging in with your email address and Michigan Medicine (Level-2) password.

This represents a major step toward making the full Microsoft 365 (M365) experience available to everyone across Michigan Medicine. Now through mid-July, HITS will upgrade CoreImage Windows devices (Standard and Flex mode) to enable users to begin using Microsoft Office 365 and OneDrive.
