Beaucoups d'universités seraient entrain de changer leur systéme d'email par une solution livrée et gérée par Google.
Il faut avouer que des etudiants sont une cible actuelle et future, mais avec plus de budget très intéressante.
"In Trinity College Dublin, the existing university e-mail network, providing addresses for staff and students, is being replaced by a Google system.
The addresses and domain name still remain the same - but underneath the bonnet, it's a service provided by Google.
These e-mail addresses, which can be accessed from any online computer, can be kept by students when they leave universities."
Des universités du UK, Egypte, Kenya, US et la Suéde auraient déjà opté pour la solution Google.
"In Africa, Google says universities in Egypt, Rwanda and Kenya are using its education package, which a company spokesperson says shows the "democratising nature of the online world in terms of access to information".
The offer to higher education also includes free online tools, hosted by Google, which allow students to work on files from any internet-connected computer, on campus, at home or anywhere else."
