Open Source Email Powers Welsh Schools with 40,000 Students

Email, Schools, UK Govt, Welsh No Comments »

The UK’s largest Open Source email system for schools has gone live.  Carmarthenshire County Council chose to build the new email system using Open Source for the following reasons.

  • Secure
  • Customizable
  • Scalable

Always seem to the same reasons that organizations move to open source software.

“Pupils and teachers now have access to three different versions of the system depending upon age group. For example, primary school children use e-mail through a simple interface, whilst secondary school pupils use more advanced features.” 

Case study can be found at the Sirius Website.
