UKIT Plans Migration to SharePoint 2010
LEXINGTON, Ky. (Feb. 22, 2012) — University of Kentucky Information Technology will upgrade the Campus SharePoint servers to SharePoint 2010 in February and March. The Medical Center SharePoint servers will not be affected.
More information regarding the specific dates of the migration for each SharePoint site will be posted at www.uky.edu/ukit/sharepoint. A site migration may take five hours or so, and while the migration is in progress, the site will be read-only.

The upgrade to SharePoint 2010 will provide the following enhancements:
- Improved integration with Microsoft Office
- Improved mobile connectivity
