Problem• Existing student email – poor interface, prefer to use

their own personal email address.• Staff using external tools like Dropbox to store files.• Small inflexible file storage – students 200mb, staff

not much more.• Data back up limited and unpredictable• Lack of social and Cloud based applications on

campus• Existing applications inflexible, dated and costly
