This project is a crucial step in McLennan Community College’s (MCC) long-term IT strategy, streamlining identity management, reducing administrative overhead, and enhancing user experience. By consolidating user identities into a single domain, authentication will be simplified, reducing login-related support issues.
This integration enables full synchronization with Microsoft and Google services, facilitating the migration of faculty and staff email to Office 365, improving scheduling and collaboration tools, and enhancing email security. Faculty will also gain better access to Microsoft’s education tools, enriching student engagement. A unified domain will support seamless campus-wide printing, simplify IT management, and enforce consistent security policies. Ultimately, this consolidation lays the foundation for modernizing services, strengthening security, and improving digital operations for faculty, staff, and students.
