Colleges and universities across the country use the Blackboard Academic Suite to allow students and faculty to engage and collaborate virtually. Enabling Technologies is helping to expand the functionality of Blackboard and provide more effective communications and collaboration with OCS for Blackboard.

OCS for Blackboard automatically populates the Office Communicator client with information such as the course, users, teachers, and information about the school. Users can view the Presence details of the professor or fellow students and determine the best way to communicate. 

“The Higher Education Universities that we have contacted are very excited to trial the OCS for Blackboard application,” says Bill Vollerthum, President of Enabling Technologies.

A 45-day trial evaluation version can be downloaded from the Enabling Technologies web site.

Enabling Technologies and Evangelyze Communications have announced a comprehensive sales, marketing, and consulting agreement. The partnership combines the strengths of each in a complementary fashion that makes the resulting union greater than the sum of its parts.

Competitors have reason for concern, and customers have reason to be excited. The partnership extends the reach of both companies, enabling them both to expand the reach of the Microsoft Unified Communications platform and provide effective collaboration, improved productivity, reduced time to market, and increased efficiency.

The combination of established leaders to deliver these unified communications solutions is formidable. The innovative pilot programs enable organizations to test out Microsoft Unified Communications at no cost (or very little cost in some cases) to them, and custom development solutions such as SmartChat, SmartVoIP, and SmartSIP extend the functionality of the Microsoft Unified Communications platform and enable organizations to maximize the value of their UC investment even farther.

For more information, check out the official press release.
