Warwick Public Schools

 

 

 

"LIGHTING THE WAY TO THE FUTURE"

In April 2006, Warwick Public Schools will go live with FirstClass to provide e-mail and online collaboration to all faculty and staff.  The implementation will be in two phases beginning with all faculty accounts and ending with the transition of administrator accounts, giving Warwick Public Schools a unified communication solution.  Training and support will be available through the combined efforts of the Information Services department and the Technology Application Assessment Coordinator.

FirstClass was chosen because it is a cost-effective, highly scalable, feature-rich messaging and communications solution for schools and school districts, learning organizations and businesses.  This single product solution provides the ability to create and easily maintain staff discussion areas, centralized access to external mail lists and listservs, collections of resource materials, files, forms, and web links from within the school network as well as home or remote locations. 

The FirstClass Communications Platform is a Collaborative Groupware, which provides the ability to effectively communicate and share valuable resources and information via email, public folders, contacts, group collaboration in conferences, a centralized directory, individual and shared calendars and online chats.

FirstClass enables you to foster the building of ideas, and participate in group discussion areas and shared workspaces.  It also integrates these features with web publishing tools that allow users without knowledge of HTML to create personal or corporate web pages simply and easily.
