University Students Drive Adoption of Web Mail; 95 Percent Switch From Old Service
Overview Located near Spokane, Eastern Washington University is one of the state's fastest-growing public institutions. But the university's hosted e-mail service was not user friendly, and the administration wanted to provide a better solution to help students stay in touch with peers and communicate with faculty. Students voted overwhelmingly to replace the existing e-mail service with Microsoft Live@edu, a set of free communication and collaboration services hosted by Microsoft. Students like the familiar user interface of the Windows Live Hotmail Web-based e-mail service, and the ability to choose their own user names and share calendars when arranging meetings. In the first two years, more than 6,500 accounts have been activated, totaling 65 percent of the campus population.
