Whew! That is exactly how I felt after sitting in an extremely technical meeting all day today. I would love to say I learned many knew things but I think overwhelmed is a better description. The essential topic was "What has to be done before we begin moving the administrative team into the new Educational Services Center" on October 5th. Believe me; we needed much longer than eight hours to decide that. Since the members moving into this wonderful new site are in four different locations the applications they need to bring are spread out over numerous servers across the district. What do we need to move over, what needs to be removed completely, do we continue Novell and switch to a pure Microsoft environment after the move or try to move in with a pure Microsoft environment? This staff will already have to learn a new communication system/process since they are going to VOIP. If we change their method of telecommunication AND email access at the same time will that produce too much stress? There was good conversation around the table…much of which was over my head. (I tried to maintain a “poker face” so they wouldn’t know just how lost I was.) A proposal was created once it was all said and done so the meeting was successful…for someone=)
I will admit that all of this change excites me. I have always been one who embraces change for the better. This will mean additional work on our group, the ITSs of MCSD, but we’re excited about the benefits of all the change and look forward to getting started. I am not a fan of meetings….especially those that last ALL day, but if they get us closer to moving forward I guess you can say I’m all in.
