We are a school district that is looking into what we will be doing going forward with online file access.We are looking at different solutions either in one product or possibly multiple that will allow collaboration on files simultaneously (similar to how google docs works) We would like to be able to have access to the files from home outside the network. In addition to that we are looking for some for of social networking (message board, wiki, blog etc) Ideally for me I would like to have the users have easy access to the files from a windows file share.
Im curious if you have any suggestions about microsoft products that will allow us to accomplish these goals. We will be getting the sharepoint license from the new EES program we will be signing up for and I was hoping that would do what we would like to accomplish but im not really sure.
In addition to the above the district hasnt decided on an email solution yet, we will be moving off of groupwise to another platform. Obviously since we will have the exchange license in the EES program it seems fiscally like that would make sense. However the district is looking for other options that may be able to integrate the other things like collaboration, file storage in one product(kind of like 1st class does)
I know these things we are looking for may be kind of broad but I thought I would give it a shot and see if you had any thoughts or suggestions.
