In August 1996, the SBU announced plans to migrate its mail and messaging 
capabilities from DIGITAL legacy applications -- VMSmail, ALL-IN-1, and 
DECmail -- to Microsoft Exchange.  Implementation, which is being done in 
parallel with the company-wide migration, is well under way within the SBU.

You'll be hearing from us 
Because this change has such a significant impact on how we all do our 
daily work, SBU management and the SBU Microsoft Exchange Program Office 
plan to communicate with you about it on a regular basis. This status 
report is the first in a series of updates that will be sent to all SBU 
employees. Future topics will include: the benefits of Microsoft Exchange, 
Exchange training resources, and tips and tricks for working in the new 
environment.

Company goals and progress
The corporation's worldwide goal is to migrate roughly 40,000 accounts to 
Exchange and to phase out all legacy mail systems by the end of Q1 FY98. 
Implementation began in earnest during Q2 FY97. To date, an estimated 
30,000 accounts -- 75% of the total -- have been migrated company-wide.

SBU Status Report
In keeping with that schedule, the SBU is planning to migrate over 12,000 
SBU accounts to Exchange by the end of Q1 FY98.   To date, approximately 
5,000 accounts -- almost 42% -- have been migrated.

The DIGITAL Call Center in Littleton, Massachusetts was the first SBU site 
to migrate to Exchange, in October 1996.  After encountering and resolving 
some initial instability, the rollout has gone smoothly, with end users 
expressing a high degree of satisfaction with the new environment. In late 
February, the MRO1 facility in Marlboro, Massachusetts completed 
implementation.  We will publish a rollout schedule for other sites and 
groups in the near future.

The path to success
SBU management believes, along with DIGITAL senior management, that the 
implementation of Microsoft Exchange will pay enormous dividends to the 
company, our business unit, SBU working groups, and individual employees. 
We plan to provide you with the information, tools, and resources to ensure 
your productivity and success in this new environment, and we thank you for 
your continued support in this effort.

Regards,
Len Hyman, SBU Microsoft Exchange Program  Manager
