FirstClass Business Edition provides businesses with a powerful communications and collaboration solution that is much richer than basic email products. FirstClass helps to increase productivity, efficiency, teamwork and customer responsiveness beyond what can be accomplished with a plain email offering, and achieves this at a lower cost than other solutions that lack the breadth of capabilities of FirstClass. Simply put, it does more and costs less.
FirstClass Education Edition enables learning organizations to create a complete online learning community that can embrace students, teachers, parents, administrators, and the community. Teachers can effectively collaborate with each other to build and share learning materials. Students can have cross-platform access to course information and overall activities within their institution or from home. Parents and alumni can be connected to enable a richer and more effective relationship to be built with these important stakeholders in the education process.
