WSU Email Fair
Presentations: April 9 – 13
Testing: April 11 – May 15
As WSU continues the process of selecting a news campus email system, you are invited to attend the WSU Email Fair, where you’ll have the chance to hear presentations from each of the vendors being considered, and test the different products available. The Email Fair will introduce Exchange Online, Google Apps, GroupWise 2012 and Zimbra. Faculty and staff members who participate in the event (either live or via the web archive) will have the opportunity to submit feedback to the IT Division.
