Jenzabar(R) Announces New Corporate Direction to Strengthen Customers' Mission-Critical Business Processes

Jenzabar(R), Inc., the leading provider of software, services and strategies for higher education, has announced today a new corporate direction aimed at strengthening the customer business processes that are critical to their institutional success. The corporate strategy concentrates on developing the financial backbone of Institutions of Higher Education by increasing the rate of enrollment, retention, and advancement through consultative services that support Jenzabar technology solutions.

Based on Jenzabar's experience in the higher education industry, the company is focusing on generating revenue and improving operational performance for customers. Jenzabar honed in on three key areas that drive significant results for colleges and universities: enrollment, retention, and advancement (ERA). Because the ERA success factor affects the financial and operational achievement of an institution, Jenzabar will offer more than technology solutions, but also a consultative approach to utilizing technology solutions to improve campus business processes. Jenzabar's consultative services take the company a step beyond the Information Technology department to work in partnership with the institution as a whole, providing administrative offices across the campus with a clear plan for aligning technology with their goals, optimizing their performance, and achieving tangible results.

"It is important to ensure that technology resources are clearly aligned with the mission and goals of institutions of higher education, and strongly linked to their day-to-day operations," said Robert A. Maginn, Jr., Jenzabar Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "Our ERA strategy is designed to do just that for our customers, and we are committed to putting all of our resources--our technology, our people, and our consulting expertise--behind this focus on our customers' success."

Jenzabar's focus on ERA success is based on the view that technology is a means to achieve a larger goal. This approach has evolved from the deep knowledge of the higher education industry derived from working closely with customers and learning what colleges and universities require to accomplish their objectives. To drive their success, institutions of higher education need integrated technology solutions supported by a comprehensive range of services and responsive customer support. Jenzabar is committed to developing effective ways to help institutions use technology to achieve constituent satisfaction, operational excellence, and institutional success.
