School Email and More Online Tools for Your Students – Less Work, Lower Cost for You
Your students want more, with the exception of homework, of course. While you can't help with less homework, you can give them more services. Microsoft provides your students, and everybody else on campus, with student email and calendaring, 25 GB of online storage and a place to share and edit their Microsoft Office documents online using Office Live Workspace. Best of all, hosting university email on Microsoft's servers can reduce traffic on yours, helping save on maintenance, effort, and cost, and get more of what you want – time to do other things.
