Solutions – Education

Educational institutions are by the nature, disparate and multi-faceted in terms of departments and highly demanding in terms of providing services to the students. By 2010, all third level academic institutions must provide Instant Messaging capabilities to their student fraternities. This in itself can prove a costly exercise with implications for security.

The implementation of Networker throughout any educational institutional brings multiple benefits to both the IT department and to the user base.

For the IT department, Networker enables;

• enhanced security in the unfortunate event of crisis communication
• historical recording of communications should the need arise to investigate issues of fraud, harassment or other social misdemeanors
• reduced costs, as Networker being a web based client can run on any device with internet access 
• ability for self revenue generation through the educational web access client with associated advertising

For the student and teaching bodies, Networker delivers;

• increased collaborative working and information sharing in real time
• real time access to authorised individuals
• communication with only the people they invite into their network thus minimizing the issue of social harassment/stalking/grooming/bullying

Several large and respected Universities have deployed the Educational version of Networker – a self revenue generating web based client throughout their campuses. Below is a sample of how Networker is being utilized within the educational market
