The Fighting Irish: a Google Apps Education success story
August 5, 2009
We love hearing from schools using
Google Apps Education Edition
, especially when it's helped them save money, gain back time or make students happy.
University of Notre Dame
is a
perfect example
(PDF) of one school that's seen great results by "
going Google
" to help make on-campus communication and collaboration easier.
When this Indiana university migrated its 15,000 students and 150,000 alumni to Google Apps Education Edition about a year ago, they were hoping to improve their outdated email system. What they actually got was better than they expected: Not only were they able to improve student satisfaction by 36% according to a poll conducted on campus, but making the switch to Apps also enabled them to save over $1.5 million that they have since been able to reallocate to new IT services for students and faculty.
Sure, it's all good to hear this from us, but you'd probably like to hear it from them, right? Well now you can. We're hosting a
free webinar
with Notre Dame on Thursday, August 13th at 10 a.m. PDT where you can learn about their experience deploying Google Apps and find out if this solution might be right for you. Whether you go to school, went to school or run a school, we encourage you to consider
life in the cloud
. Who knows what results you might see?
