Microsoft Online Services Customer Story: Bryant University

Overview

Bryant University heard from many alumni that they wanted to keep using the same Microsoft Exchange Server-based messaging solution that they had used on campus. Unfortunately, maintaining this service for graduates wasn't economically feasible for the university. Bryant students and faculty unanimously chose Microsoft Live@edu, a free, Microsoft-hosted messaging and collaboration solution for universities. The centerpiece of the solution is Windows Live Hotmail that includes five gigabytes of storage space per account, as well as features like calendar sharing, contact management, access to e-mail through mobile phones and POP, and improved spam filtering.
