Jenzabar’s Momentum Accelerates in 2005
Early Highlights Include New Customer Wins, Strengthened Relationships and
Operational Expansion
Cambridge, MA — May 16, 2005 –
Jenzabar, Inc., the pioneer of Total Campus ManagementSM (TCM) solutions for higher education, continues to demonstrate strong growth and momentum in the marketplace by building on its 2004 accomplishments. In the first quarter alone Jenzabar: 1) won several new customers, 2) further strengthened existing customer relationships by providing more comprehensive services, 3) released functional enhancements across its product suite, 4) expanded facilities and operations, and 5) added new staff. Together these highlights substantiate that Jenzabar’s Total Campus Management vision is becoming pervasive, and its i3 strategy for developing intelligent, integrated, Internet-based solutions, is gaining wider acceptance as the forward-looking approach that many institutions of higher education have embraced.
Jenzabar has undertaken major initiatives within its client base in 2005. Atlantic Union College, Belmont Technical College, Centre College, The Claremont University Consortium, Columbia College (Chicago), Spoon River College and Tillamook Bay Community College are among those institutions that have adopted Jenzabar solutions or broadened their relationships with Jenzabar.
The number of new Jenzabar customers, upgrades, and expanded service provisioning during the first quarter of 2005 represents a sizable increase over the same period in 2004. The company welcomed new customers for its flagship ERP products, Jenzabar EX and Jenzabar CX, as well as its Web portal, Jenzabar Internet Campus Solution (JICS), throughout the U.S. Additionally, Jenzabar provided its professional services expertise to many client institutions in the areas of strategic planning, training, and post-implementation support.
“Building on a tremendous year in 2004, our first quarter results show that Jenzabar continues to thrive and grow,” said Robert A. Maginn, Chairman and CEO of Jenzabar, Inc. “Our Total Campus Management vision has taken hold with an increasing number of institutions of higher education, and our efforts in product development and customer support are delivering greater value to our customers. As we look ahead, Jenzabar has more exciting developments on our schedule for 2005, and we look forward to servicing a growing number of client institutions.”
Jenzabar has continued the product innovation that has marked the company as the pioneer in Total Campus Management. Product enhancements have extended the functionality of its ERP systems as well as broadening its portal offering and its learning management system. Jenzabar also has continued its commitment to customizing and adapting its offerings to meet the specific requirements of client institutions.
“Jenzabar’s advances are fulfilling the vision we had when we started the company in 1998,” continued Maginn. “Not only are we bringing forth innovations that meet and surpass the needs and expectations of our customers, but also we are attracting ‘the best and the brightest’ talent to help fuel our growth. We are thrilled with our progress, but we will not sit on our laurels. Jenzabar will continue to move forward as a leader in serving the technology needs of higher education,” he added.
As another indicator of its momentum, Jenzabar has expanded its Cambridge MA headquarters and created new staff positions in the first quarter of 2005, augmenting all the company’s functional areas with particular emphasis on product development, marketing and client support, and increasing the company’s total headcount by ten percent. This additional staff will help support the new product releases and expanded market presence expected in 2005.
