EverestMSS Cybersecurity Services

In today’s rapidly evolving digital landscape, educational institutions face growing pressure to modernize — to equip students and educators with tools that promote collaboration, security, and productivity. Fortunately, tech giants like Google and Microsoft offer powerful solutions tailored for schools, often at little to no cost through their grant and nonprofit programs.

At EverestMSS, we believe every school deserves access to the best digital tools — and we’re here to help make that a reality.

Google offers free and discounted tiers of its Workspace suite to qualified academic institutions. These include:

• Gmail and Google Calendar with a school domain
• Google Drive and Docs/Sheets/Slides for cloud-based productivity
• Google Meet and Chat for secure, scalable communication
• Google Classroom — a centralized platform for managing assignments and feedback

Microsoft’s educational grant programs provide:

• Free access to Office Online apps (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Teams)
• Microsoft Teams for Education, a powerful collaboration platform
• OneDrive cloud storage for each student and teacher
• Advanced compliance and security features for IT teams

These platforms not only enhance learning but also support hybrid education models, digital literacy, and secure data management.

By tapping into these grants, schools can:

• Empower students and teachers with world-class productivity tools
• Reduce software costs significantly
• Standardize platforms for easier IT management
• Enhance cybersecurity and protect sensitive data
• Streamline communication and collaboration across classrooms and campuses

Yet despite these benefits, many schools remain unaware or hesitant to adopt these platforms due to implementation challenges.
