Office 365 Live@edu Deployments

Office 365 Live@edu offers educational institutions free hosted, co-branded communication and collaboration services for students, faculty, and alumni.  Live@edu provides the familiar and reliable Outlook Web Access (OWA) co-branded with a school’s name and logo, helping students build lifelong ties to their educational institution.   Live@edu also includes access to additional services that will enhance the school’s ability to communicate and collaborate with their constituents, instant message, document sharing, calendars, etc..

Live@edu is accessible through popular Web browsers for Windows, Mac, and Linux operating systems.  Live@edu  helps IT departments reduce their IT infrastructure costs and allows them to spend less time maintaining e-mail systems and more time spent on strategic or other initiatives. 

Benefits

• Save time and money. Live@edu is a no-cost, hosted service that can reduce ongoing maintenance costs and system updates.
• Prepare students for the next step. Whether that next step is graduate school or the working world, Microsoft technologies can help students develop better time management skills, as well as a personal portfolio to showcase their great work.
• Recruit and retain students. Provide students anytime, anywhere, any device access to the latest technology tools and services. With Outlook Live e-mail, students receive a school domain e-mail address that they can use today, and continue to use when they are alumni. The Windows Live ID gives them seamless access to other Windows Live services as well.
• Build on what you already have. Live@edu easily integrates with existing Microsoft investments and programs, providing you with the choice and flexibility to combine on-premises and hosted solutions. And with built-in protection from viruses, spam, and phishing attacks, your school can move into the cloud while maintaining students’ and faculty’s online privacy.
