7 Offer students choices
Work with both companies to offer benefits from each First school to offer all three services Response to overwhelming demand from students for more storage Eliminate additional cost Greening of Drexel Introduction to services, such as file storage, that we do not offer in-house

8 Implementation

9 Contracts Worked with Microsoft and Google on details of the agreements No ads Free service Launch details Legal issues

10 Back-end Configuration
Created a web service that allowed communication between Google, MS and our homegrown IDMS Modified end-user interface for our IDMS to allow student to activate accounts

11 Provisioning Retained the Drexel account as primary (and mandatory)
Allowed the students to have the option to create the additional accounts Students also have the option to forward mail from Drexel accounts to their new accounts

12 Exclusions Our General Counsel decided faculty and staff were not eligible for these accounts E-discovery issues Security of student and employee data Necessity for long-term storage Faculty and Staff

18 Additional Reasons Massive File Storage Shared Calendars
Large Quotas (10 GB for Exchange Labs and 5GB for Gmail)

19 How Are We Doing?

Our situation is unique because we are a coop school and half of our students were not on campus during the launch. Hopefully we are able to promote this service in the summer while they are on campus.
