Xythos Academic Solutions Xythos provides a suite of products specifically designed for Academic customers. This is the Digital Locker Suite which offers the following key benefits: Provides Web Access and Storage of Files: Students and staff have secure remote access to their files and a safe place to store their course work and personal information. Users can create their own folders with different permissions for their course work, personal information or even create their own public web pages. "We chose Xythos to provide a convenient, university-wide file sharing solution that would also help better protect all of our user's data-no matter what kind of computer they are using." - Rick Mickool, Northeastern University Enables Quick Deployments and Minimal Support: Xythos was designed to be easy and intuitive, increasing campus adoption. Typical deployments require minimal training and ongoing maintenance because of the application’s delegated administrative capabilities. Improves Academic Collaboration and Research: Staff can securely share drafts with other researchers, review documents, read comments, and establish project areas—all through a web interface that can be accessed from any browser. Version history can also be stored to ensure that everyone is working on the latest document revision. "The Xythos was chosen because the web interface was easy to navigate and required very little training." - Mark Robson, Salve Regina University Accelerates Grant Applications: Xythos provides workspaces with file-level access control, audit capabilities and email integration for grant preparation. Automated notifications help keep submissions on schedule with easy-to-use document routing, review and approval features.

Reduces IT Costs: Xythos Digital Locker Suite lowers the cost of file management and reduces network traffic by providing a safer and easier way for users to transfer files instead of using attachments. Users send “Xythos Tickets” which give others secure access to files and directories held on the Xythos Web File Server. Supports PCs and Macs: Xythos supports both PCs and Mac users. Based entirely on open standards, Xythos Digital Locker runs on all common application servers, databases and file systems—extending the utility of existing technology investments and ensuring compatibility with future technology advancements. Easily Integrates Collaborative Functionality Into E-Learning Systems: Xythos can be configured to be a stand-alone course management system or it can be deployed as a complement to existing course management applications. With its extensive sample code, out-of-the-box JSR 168 portlets and API documentation, developers can easily modify Xythos features and embed document management and collaborative functionality within many of their own campus applications and portals.
