Sorry for my light blogging, but I have been working on a few projects lately… and something had to give.
One of these projects is a feature-long article for the August issue of University Business (it’s due June 1st – it’s a magazine, not a blog ;-) about email outsourcing in higher education.
If you don’t have a clue about what I’m talking about you can read a previous post, From outsourcing email to outsourcing IT, I wrote after reading a very good piece about the topic written by Andy Guess from Inside Higher Ed last November.
Anyway, I’m going to interview folks from Google Apps and Live@edu (the solution offered by Microsoft) for my article, and thought you might like me to ask a couple of your questions, my dear readers.
So, if you’ve been burning to find out more about these free are-they-too-good-to-be-true email outsourcing solutions, post your questions now in the comment section or email karine@collegewebeditor.com if you prefer.
And, while we are talking about this, if your institution has implemented either (or both) solutions, please share your experience with the rest of us via a comment as well.
I look forward to the article, Karine!
We’re looking at outsourcing email for a division of our college, and thinking about fusemail.com. I’d far and away prefer google except for inability to use Google Docs for file (storage) other than .xls, .ppt, and .doc. My question for Google would be, “Do you expect to offer file space/sharing for other types of documents with a file space equivalent to the mailbox size (perhaps with the ability to purchase additional space)?”
Thanks,
