- Improves Academic Collaboration. With Xythos Digital Locker, students can securely share drafts with other classmates and faculties, review documents, read comments, and establish project areas—all through an intuitive interface that can be accessed from any web browser. Digital Locker also provides a flexible file storage and sharing upgrade for existing learning management systems.
-
Protects Institutional Content. Academic institutions need to know where vital content is stored and ensure that it is protected at all times. Digital Locker delivers the tools to secure and track content both on and off campus. Document level security, advanced permissions and easy integration with content encryption and authentication standards help ensure that only those who are supposed to can access or modify files.
-
Reduces IT Costs. Digital Locker provides users with a safer and easier way to transfer files instead of using email attachments or exchanging physical media. Users can easily set up their own shared workspaces without requiring the IT department to assist them. Digital Locker is also ideal for consolidating department file servers – allowing staff and faculty to stay in control of their content without having to store and manage it themselves.
-
Easy to Deploy and Support. Xythos Digital Locker is designed to work together with the applications that students and faculty already know and use, saving them from having to learn new processes. Typical deployments require minimal training thanks to the Digital Locker’s intuitive web 2.0 enhanced interface and desktop integration with Mac and Windows WebDAV clients.
-
Maximizes Existing Technology Investments. Xythos Digital Locker can be deployed as a common content repository for a wide range of academic and business applications. Its Java (J2EE) architecture is at home in virtually any application server, database and storage environment – helping to preserve infrastructure and storage system investments. Developers can concentrate on delivering process-specific solutions and let Xythos perform the data management, storage and security chores for their desktop or web applications.
