Featured Analyst Quote

"It is rare that we can recognize a vendor for vision, execution, and timely delivery of a significantly new and improved product or service, but we do so here. Blackboard has executed precisely on its promise and delivered a product that improves on previous Wimba and Elluminate platforms. The company took advantage of a product advisory council in creating Collaborate 11, and it shows."
