Paul is looking at __ WatchDox __ as a solution to control document access, but hasn't been able to get anyone at BlackBerry to can help him (since they recently bought the product...)

Jennifer said they include a line in their contract that IT vets products for data safety to protect the IT department. That allows the school to also press teachers to only use approved tools.
