LLCC is transitioning its phone system from Skype for Business to Microsoft Teams! This means that external phone calls will be made and received using Teams. This change will enhance our communication capabilities by offering integrated messaging, video conferencing and advanced phone system functionalities in one system. IT will facilitate a seamless transition, reaching out to each department individually. As part of this transition, SNOM phones will be replaced with Yealink phones. Stay tuned for further updates and instructions from IT to ensure a smooth adoption of Microsoft Teams. Thank you for your cooperation and flexibility during this exciting transition!

As a reminder, geofencing blocks access to LLCC accounts outside of the United States. If you are traveling outside of the country and will need access to your LLCC account, please let the Help Desk know to have geofencing deactivated for the duration of your travel.

Most account attacks come from outside of the country. Geofencing is a good measure to block those attacks and reduce the number of compromise accounts.
