Trish mentioned that there is a push by leadership to move people to Microsoft Teams for videoconferencing, and there is a bulk request form to get people set up. MS Teams is integrated with MS Office 365, which could interfere with MS Access 2010, which we use to run CCMDB.accdb and any of our other programs (newer versions are not fully backward compatible).

I called the helpdesk 2020-04-23 to find out how this would work. The request for MS Teams would result in Digital Health making available the Office 365 install in the Windows Software Centre on a user’s PC. Office 365 can have MS Access, but it would be a different version from what we are using and it would not be included in the eHealth standard install. The newer version also might not work for certain things (it might be OK for whiteboard, but almost definitely would cause problems for some of the Access programs used by CCMDB).

To make sure nothing breaks, we would need to coordinate a time with the local eHealth desktop team to re-install MS Access 2010 right after Office 365 is installed.
