Overview and Benefits

The purpose of this document is to familiarize you with the major features of Regroup.com.Regroup.com is a superior group communication tool for organizations. We offer a modern alternativeto old fashioned mailing lists and listservs, as well as additional features such as online forums, grouppages, Facebook integration, and more.

Benefits:

Easy to use: Mailing Lists are a critical component of communications within a school. Unfortunately,many schools have implemented archaic and hard-to-use solutions, and users have a hard orimpossible time creating lists, viewing archives, managing preferences, and more. This is a problembecause it means that many groups will either go somewhere outside of the school (yahoo groups) ornot create/use a list at all.Integrates the natural groupings of your organization: We not only improve the experience, we alsowork with universities to create natural groupings. For example, only large clubs may have email lists-- but small clubs are often the ones that can benefit the most from increased involvement and senseof community that can come from these lists. When we work with a school, we ensure that they caneasily get many groups up quickly and easily; from dorms, to courses, to clubs, and more.Software as a Service: From an IT person's point of view, the other mailing list manager / listservsolutions are a lot of work and cost. They have to install them, get a server to host them, and pay theassociated software and maintenance fees. We require no IT effort as we're "software as a service"(we host everything and there is no installation).By implementing Regroup, you will:

•

Save money (as compared to L-Soft or other software)

•

Save countless hours supporting students with questions of how to join, leave, and createemail lists on hard-to-use systems

•

Advance your school’s IT offerings to include the easiest and best e-mail group platformAnd:

E-mail List + Forum Features

Starting a Topic

Users can create a topic either from their e-mail or via the website. To start a topic via email, the personsimply writes an email to the address from their group (e.g.OSU-2012@regroup.com)Alternatively, the user can click on the “start a topic” tab on the web interface. Through the web, theuser can also choose to email the group or not. (By not emailing the group, the post still shows up inthe group, and users can reply to it just as they would a new post in a forum).
