Jenzabar's Annual Meeting Draws Record Attendance
More Than 1,000 Attendees Travel to Orlando for JAM 2004

Cambridge, MA - June 25, 2004 - Jenzabar, Inc., a leading e-business and e-learning solutions provider dedicated to higher education, announced today that more than 1,000 customers, business partners, and Jenzabar associates attended JAM 2004, Jenzabar's annual meeting, last week in Orlando, FL. The four-day customer conference was held June 13 - 16 at the Gaylord Palms Resort and Convention Center and featured a broad range of sessions organized around this year's theme, "Total Campus Management: A World of Opportunities."

Jenzabar Chairman and CEO Bob Maginn opened the conference with a welcoming address focused on Jenzabar's mission, vision, and values. "Education has always served as the gateway to the American Dream," he remarked. "Jenzabar's vision is to serve as a cornerstone in that gateway. Our mission is to help our customers and their constituents achieve their goals in life by helping to offer the education necessary to make their dreams come true."

The conference program offered a total of 310 sessions, presented by both customers and Jenzabar staff, including updates on the future direction of all product lines and sessions designed to help users make the most of their Jenzabar administrative systems. Among the session topics were Jenzabar's new non-traditional module, an Internet-based administrative solution for institutions offering continuing education courses, degree completion programs, and certificate programs; Jenzabar's Executive Dashboard, a customized services solution designed to monitor critical business issues; and Jenzabar's Internet Campus Solution (JICS), a portal solution that fully integrates administrative and academic systems across the campus.

"It was by far the best JAM yet," according to Jenzabar user Drew Allison, Assistant Director of IT at Southern Wesleyan University. "The sessions are always worthwhile, and they were really good this year. The networking was also valuable-JAM gives us a great chance to interact with people we usually trade e-mails with. And the location was absolutely fabulous." Along with co-presenter Penny Evans-Plants, Assistant Manager for Administrative Computing at Berry College, Allison led a roundtable session on the successful implementation of Jenzabar's Internet Campus Solution at their respective institutions.

In addition, JAM attendees were provided a central meeting place for discussions with product managers, product developers, and customer care representatives; Internet access between sessions; and vendor exhibits featuring Jenzabar partners. Feith Systems and Software, Inc., a new Jenzabar partner providing a document imaging and management solution to Jenzabar customers, was among the exhibitors. "All of our representatives at the conference were impressed by the large showing of Jenzabar customers at this event," commented Mitch Farbstein, Vice President of Sales at Feith, "and by the enthusiasm and positive spirit among the conference attendees."

Other highlights of the week included a keynote address by Team Dynamics President Kirk A. Weisler, known as "America's Chief Morale Officer," and a visit to SeaWorld Orlando Adventure Park.

Next year's conference is scheduled to be held in San Diego, CA. Previous Jenzabar annual meetings have been held in Atlanta, GA, and Washington, D.C.
