Who made the decision to move Email to Google at ASU?
UNC President Erskine Bowles commissioned a blue-ribbon President’s Advisory Committee on Efficiency & Effectiveness (PACE) of state and business leaders to review the university’s activities and to provide findings and possible recommendations. One recommendation within the PACE report is to outsource email. Information Technology Services began investigating this recommendation seriously during the Spring of 2008, deciding that email services provided by Google best fit the needs of Appalachian. Additionally, a survey of students in April 2008 revealed that many students are interested in ITS moving in this direction.
