The Central TAFE collaborated with ten other TAFE Colleges in Western Australia in a public tender process, issuing an expression of interest to providers of hosted email services in September last year, before a WA TAFE working committee decided on Microsoft’s Live@edu solution for Central TAFE. After the pilot phase concludes, each of the WA TAFEs that were part of the initial tender will also consider deployment of Live@edu. If all 10 of the Western Australia TAFE colleges follow suit, around 120,000 students would have access to the Live@edu service across the State. The Live@edu suite of online applications and services includes Microsoft Outlook Live, Microsoft Office Live Workspace and SkyDrive storage, and Central TAFE’s managing director, Neil Fernandes, says the Live@edu platform was “exactly the solution Central TAFE was looking for” to meet the growing needs of the college’s students. “We will be introducing a robust student email offering, that enables connectivity and collaboration right across our campuses.” According to education director for Microsoft Australia, Neil Jackson, there’s growing momentum behind the Live@edu student email system, with the solution, which he maintains provides educational facilities with a “cost effective and advanced email service without significantly impacting their budgets.” Jackson says the service provides a significant number of benefits and opportunities including increased mailbox capacity (10GB) and 20MB attachments as well as calendaring and contact management. |
