Why do schools outsource student messaging and collaboration?• Provide students more• Keep pace with innovation without
the expense• Divert scarce resources to higher
value-add activities• Strengthen online connection to
alumni
Why do schools not outsource?• Locally hosted services = greater
control• Perceived risk of taking an important
dependency on an outside entity• Preference for “better” or “best”
messaging and collaboration solutions
Common questions & concerns• Privacy (e.g. FERPA compliance)• ADA / Section 508• Administration of subpoenas & investigations• Intent – is there a “catch?”• Plan B – what’s my exit strategy?• Maintaining a singe credential model (e.g. SSO)• Student acceptance
