Student/Faculty/Alumni

The Problem: Messaging Needs of Alumni, Faculty and Staff Email With Student Email Can Be Costly

Today, universities have a diverse set of users with equally diverse messaging needs, which can result in a farm of email servers and costly licenses.

Faculty and staff email requires collaboration tools for managing meetings, setting student appointments, working with peers, and communicating with colleagues around the world. Student email is needed for communicating with the school, friends, and family, as well as access to events calendars for organizations they participate in at the university. And alumni use email almost exclusively to stay in touch with other alumni, and receive information from the university about potential networking events or fundraising activities.
