At the end of October, ITWorx successfully completed the delivery of [email protected] suite of services for King Abdulaziz University in Saudi Arabia. Microsoft [email protected] is a free suite of hosted Microsoft services and applications that help students use the Internet for collaboration on campus, in the classroom, and in their daily lives and personal activities. ITWorx has implemented a number of Microsoft [email protected] solutions in the region’s education sector.
The [email protected] program provides education institutions with a set of hosted collaboration services, communication tools, and mobile, desktop, and web-based applications, as well as data storage capabilities. The educational authority gets its own customized, live domain name, in addition to user emails for students, alumni, staff, and others.
With the Microsoft Live ID, the student can sign-in and access multiple Microsoft applications such as email services, Windows Live Messenger, Windows Live Spaces, Windows Live SkyDrive, Windows Live Mobile, and others. Students are exposed to Microsoft products similar to those used in global workplaces, helping to prepare them for jobs after graduation.
