Products
Institutions of higher education each have unique requirements for information processing technology. Many desire a solution that is fully developed: an environment that is stable, dependable, and easy to use as-is, out of the box. Others are searching for lower-cost applications with reliable support and security. Still others are most comfortable with advanced functionality, tools, and support for high-transaction volumes, in addition to a high degree of customization potential. In bringing together the best software developed by each of its five companies, Jenzabar has a family of products that addresses the exacting needs of any institution. By working with all constituencies in an institution and developing an understanding of the senior administrative issues and needs, Jenzabar assists in choosing the best solution for the institution's requirements.

Jenzabar currently features two product lines: the Jenzabar 200 Series™ and the Jenzabar 300 Series™, all products in which are essentially rebrandings of legacy products of the five former companies, as follows:

The Jenzabar 200 Series Solution is fully developed: an environment that is stable, dependable, and easy to use as-is, out of the box, targeted at institutions requiring lower-cost applications with reliable support and security. The Jenzabar 300 Series Solution targets institutions requiring advanced functionality, tools, and support for high-transaction volumes, in addition to a high degree of customization potential.

Services
At Jenzabar, we have a passion for services. To help meet the challenge of the constraints placed on institutions by ever-shrinking IT staffs, we offer these services:
Implementation Our implementation services are defined processes that end with fully implemented systems and satisfied customers:
* Implementation Planning
* Implementation Support
* Training
* Tailoring the Standard System
* Data Conversion
* Running Live
* Ongoing Adaptation.

Consulting Each institution is different. Unique. We understand that. That's why we provide client-tailored consulting services to assist customers in enhancing - and protecting - their technology investment.

Support Services When problems can occur, they will. Jenzabar's help is close at hand. 24 hours a day. 7 days a week. Through cell phone, telephone, fax, and the Internet.

IT professionals with the right skills are enjoying a seller's market. By helping to satisfy this demand, colleges and universities can benefit from increased revenue. Jenzabar offers IT Certification (ITC)Training for both Microsoft and Webmaster and can put together programs for colleges and universities taught by on-campus, certified instructors. We have a different approach than that of other companies that just do general IT training. Typically, Jenzabar's name is not prominent nor even mentioned; we prefer to build programs that increase recognition of an institution's name and create a synergy with currently offered programs. The focus is to help colleges and universities build community with their constituents. Our strategy is to find clients who become long-term partners. Jenzabar will provide the instructors, curriculum materials, web content, and assistance with logistics. Our curriculum is blended, which means the student has the entire curriculum available both in paper text for classroom use and on the web for studying at home. Our partners market the programs and provide classroom space with the appropriate equipment. We share tuition revenue.

Strategy
The consolidation of five companies under one corporate umbrella affords Jenzabar greater power in the small- to medium-sized institutional market. It achieves this by coalescing the four ERP vendors' customer bases and integrating those products with Jenzabar.com's enterprise portal and a course management system. Jenzabar CX has the power to gain new business from the upper end of Jenzabar's target market.

Having created a stable management and support structure and a more consistent product branding, Jenzabar is focusing its energies on developing superior portal integration and course management systems within the framework of its present product structure as well as developing next-generation products and delivery systems that bring together database independence, a Java-based n-tier architecture, and total Web-centric delivery.

With the portal positioned as the Web gateway to all Jenzabar products, we are currently developing two next-generation Web-enabled products targeted at two strong market segments in higher education. The first product, developed by uniting the best features from two of Jenzabar's current ERP solutions, will target small to medium-sized institutions and will emphasize ease of use, implementation, and support. The second product, an enhanced Web-based version of another ERP solution, will target medium-sized to large institutions and will emphasize the ability to adapt product features and support more complex processing issues. We refer to this suite of offerings as Jenzabar's Internet Campus Solution(tm).
We can sum up our strategy in three words: Intelligent, Integrated, and Internet.

Intelligent. Our Enterprise Smart Portal turns the sometimes-overwhelming amount of the information and activities involved with the campus into one single source.

While our enterprise solutions effectively support business processes, our portal delivers a user-specific experience to constituents, offering services relevant to the individual user and providing the learning community a transformation experience. More than simply a gateway to all the essential information to a learner, a faculty member, or an administrative officer, our Enterprise Smart Portal is thoughtfully engineered to be a personal organizer and intelligent tool.

Designed to leverage vast amounts of institutional information into an individual experience, Jenzabar's Enterprise Smart Portal enables one to display, screen, and sort all the necessary and important day-to-day functions and work flow and place task lists and campus announcements into users' calendars. Intelligent features alert users about items of immediate attention and response, such as an assignment's due date. The Enterprise Smart Portal becomes a user's virtual point-of-contact to the campus, where the user can plug in their hand-held personal digital assistant and cell phone when traveling and where they go to first every day to find what they have to do.

Our portal presents a coherent, but also personalized, impression of the institution in the same way that the physical campus does. This is important to sustain a competitive edge. Portals will be used to manage an institution's information assets [search and categorization, personalization], knowledge assets [through the integration of the data and applications, collaborations, and the support for mobile and wireless] and their human assets through process integration. And we are planning for the future, a future where enterprise portal will evolve to the e-business platform.

Integrated. Our Constituent Relationship Management (CRM) software (dramatically more than a traditional ERP) provides staff with immediate and integrated access to complete student profiles - without having to move from system to system. It treats the admissions, financial aid, and academic records departments as a single entity, assisting all constituents by:
* Enabling service personnel to assist students properly
* Presenting a quality experience to a potential student
* Providing faculty easy access to course, schedule, and grade data
* Helping administrators to develop and monitor fundraising initiatives
* Tying alumni to their alma mater and maintaining their financial support
* Keeping donors participating in the institution's long-term growth.

Why Constituent Relationship Management? Successful implementations start right at the top. They start with a philosophy that all faculty and administrative officers must understand - that the quality of the educational experience is the most important ingredient that helps build valuable student relationships. Technology can help execute this change in philosophy and culture, but - without administrative commitment to become more constituent-centric - schools will never realize the benefits.

And that's our focus. Our integrated administrative software is designed to manage relationships with all of the enterprise's constituents. Our CRM provides data consolidation and mining and the ability to capture vital constituent information at the point of contact, whether by telephone, fax, e-mail, or the Web. CRM stores this information in a central database - but even more - generates sensible business intelligence to the right officers, so they can make the right decisions.

Internet. Yesterday, customers invested heavily to automate administrative functions, to bring their campus to the world. Today, enter Jenzabar - the class of the best and brightest. Our Intelligent, Integrated, and Internet Campus Solution brings the world to the campus. And when the world comes, it will get individualized web services. Take registration - it's now a one-stop deal. Jenzabar takes all those formerly separate tasks and joins them together into a seamless process. Students can plan a schedule of classes, register, pay their bill, access their classes' homepages, review their syllabi and assignments, and get an eMail greeting from their teachers. All in one place.

Financials
Jenzabar has a history of profitability. Although Jenzabar does not publish detailed financial information, it remains fiscally strong with excellent credit and financial stability to fund the new product and service development it determines is required to meet the needs of its target markets.
Jenzabar has consistently increased shareholder value, Jenzabar's 2001 first quarter numbers indicate that total revenues were up 16%, gross profit up 37%, and gross margin up 19% over the previous year. For the second half of 2001, all figures are running ahead of plan.
