Office 365 is the perfect solution."

"We realized the enormous collaborative benefits that Office 365, whose tools were built for the purpose of integration, would bring across the state.

It is incredibly hard to beat the commercial quality of Office 365 alone and, to top it off, its cost is free."

"We chose to have an on-site Exchange for staff and off-site Exchange (Office 365) for students so we could utilise the free space for the students, allow for staff to be easily supported and expand predictably and quickly while satisfying our security concerns by storing sensitive e-mails on-site. We liked the fact that we could pay for an upgrade and obtain Office, Lync and other online services if we wished too."
