Our original goal was to get Microsoft cloud services and the free Office version for students in the fall 2014.
Unfortunately, things were not as easy as we thought. We apologize for the delay.
The situation at the moment is this:
-we have the technology and the capability to synchronize student information to the cloud
-an exact schedule cannot be given yet due to the fact that we are waiting for some details from the lawyers concerning the synchronization of information to the cloud
-Metropolia Board of Governors authorizes President to sign a new Microsoft EES campus contract in mid-January
After these matters have been taken care of, we can publish the new service to students.
We will publish a bulletin in Tuubi and in the IT Services website just as soon as downloading Office is possible.
