SchoolBits Advantages over Traditional E-mail
|
| SchoolBits is a web-based email service designed to meet the needs
of library administrators and staff who want to provide e-mail to users and retain control of its content. It has
many advantages over other on-line and traditional E-mail systems. |
|
 With
other online services, you can not block what users are sending. Pornography,
a threat to the President or another user? Yikes! It's a library's worst nightmare. Yet libraries are under
tremendous pressure to provide internet access for their communities.
With a traditional email service for a library, you can block for content but library technicians have
to maintain the e-mail software, computers, accounts and security.
|
 SchoolBits
brings together the best of both worlds. The blocking
capabilities of a traditional e-mail system and the ease of an on-line service.
SchoolBits can be accessed on any computer with a web browser and an internet connection. Simple & easy, with
nothing to maintain or install.
Users access SchoolBits with an encrypted password, and read, organize and
delete their mail with a simple web interface.

"I cannot
say enough good things about The K12 WebMailPRO and The SchoolsBits E-Mail systems.
We have upgraded from the basic service to WebMailPRO because of the great service and
new features that have been added over the last 2 years. Just today I requested an import
of some 1500 students into the SchoolBits program and it was complete in a matter of 30 Minutes.
Keep Up the Great Service!"
