Live@edu Services

The CSI Live@edu Services solution is just another step in helping prepare your students for the future. Educational institutions have a very specific set of requirements for cloud-based messaging and collaborations solutions—and no other product like Microsoft’s Live@edu brings a richer set of free hosted solutions. This is why CSI now provides the CSI Live@edu Services solution, providing a provisioning solution that works in a seamless manner with a schools infrastructure by utilizing existing systems that maintain and populate the Active Directory with student accounts with the least amount of user intervention.

In addition, CSI Live@edu Services solution adds a Microsoft Identity Lifecycle Management server to do the provisioning for student accounts, but uses Microsoft Active Directory as its authoritative source, so the interface to a schools system is through Active Directory and therefore impacts no other systems with the exception of reducing the load on a schools internal server.

“Out-of-The-Box” or Customized?

One of the benefits of the CSI Live@edu Services solution is that CSI can help you with an “Out-of-the-Box” application or customize an application specifically suited to meet the needs of your school—all of this is created in an automated, managed fashion, which puts control into your hands.

CSI Live@edu Services solution provides a manageable technology by which school staff can integrate email logon services into existing school portals and web sites as well. We have specifically designed our service technology to provide existing student portals with the ability to logon to email from anywhere, anytime.
