New Product! AD passwords synchronised with Gmail & the cloud
What happened to the promise of cloud services bringing new capabilities at less cost? Many of those advantages have been eroded by the burden of maintaining passwords in 2 places: on your network and in the cloud.
Many schools would like to move to cloud-based provision of services for account holders, such as Gmail and Google Apps, but the workload of maintaining network accounts and cloud accounts can be prohibitively costly. Studentnet Innovation eliminates that cost by integrating a school's AD password maintenance into cloud-based services such as GMail.
Our Active Directory Integration (ADI) solution not only protects your school's valuable account information, but also dramatically reduces the daily chores of account and password maintenance. ADI eases the burdens placed on school IT staff and network administrators.
Active Directory Integration is also completely general purpose: Studentnet can propagate these benefits to a wide range of cloud-based services.
Innovation is core to what we do at Studentnet. It allows us to enhance school networks to achieve new and unique functionality at significantly lower costs.
Contact Studentnet now, to find out more about applying our Innovation solutions to reduce your network costs and make the potential of the cloud a reality for your school.

Schools, colleges, universities, are different.
Not only from each other, but their responsibilities are different from
those of any other group in society. As well as caring for young people, they must also deal with an annual cycle of intense activity, setting-up and closing down vast numbers of user accounts. |
Computer systems today underly
all aspects of education for both students and staff: they are now
basic 24/7 requirements.
ICT environments must foster learning and collaboration within careful boundaries, dealing with privacy, age-appropriate material, cyberbullying and responsible supervision. |
ICT directors have to provide a professional level of computer networking, sometimes
with little more than the proverbial server in the
staffroom to help them. Schools have always had to do the best they could with limited resources, and that pressure has only mounted with increasing technology demands. |
