CAMBRIDGE, MA–May 31, 2001–When you are the new kid on the block, you can use all the help you can get. And, when it came to evaluating and purchasing enterprise software, that is exactly what Johnstown, PA's Cambria County Area Community College (CCACC) did. Only seven years old, CCACC teamed up with its two older, sister community colleges to evaluate the Elite Administrative software package offered by Jenzabar, a leading provider of Internet enterprise software, e-learning solutions, and services to higher education. Along with its sister schools, the Community College of Beaver County and Northwest Pennsylvania Technical Institute, CCACC purchased Elite's applications for admissions, registration, advising, alumni development, personnel, financials, and institutional reporting.

There is, indeed, strength in numbers.

"This partnership will enhance the collaboration with our sister institutions," Dr. Kathleen Davis, CCACC's President stated. "But more importantly, it will provide CCACC with the MIS infrastructure so badly needed at this time."

With the purchase of the Jenzabar Elite software, CCACC is able to meet administrative information processing and communication needs that their previous database systems — a mix of homegrown and packaged systems – was not sufficiently robust to handle.
