Leadership Adopting Cloud Based Solutions

KPU had an urgent need to implement a completely new student email system on an extraordinarily compressed timeline.

  • Led urgent student communication program including replacing University provided student email with the first Microsoft O365 implementation in the Canadian cloud with no disruption to service

Corinne was referred by colleagues at several other universities who were glowing about her work. She took over a complex project with a very short timeline involving the entire university (faculty, staff and students) and did not let us down. I highly recommend Corinne Pitre-Hayes to lead your project or your strategy.

I worked with Corinne on projects that displayed her technical knowledge, communication, and leadership skills. In every instance her litmus test was a successful student experience. Her broad knowledge of the post-secondary sector allows her to regularly bring the discussion back to what is mission critical: students.

Dr. Diane Purvey, Dean, Faculty of Arts, KPU

We hired Corinne to do a project for us about student communication software tools. We were so impressed with her knowledge that we hired her for other projects. Corinne understands the technology needs of post-secondary institutions, and has the expertise to select the right software solution and manage its implementation.
