Overview Blackboard Inc. is a leading software infrastructure company for e-Education. We believe that delivery of education services online is fast becoming a dominant use of the global commercial and academic Internet. Enabling the growth of e-Education, our technology powers e-Learning, campus enterprise information portals, and student commerce. We license our Blackboard 5 suite of enterprise software to the academic marketplace of colleges, universities and schools, as well as the commercial organizations that serve them, such as textbook publishers, for-profit education providers, and other education service providers. Our technologies are also utilized by corporations and governments for their e-Learning initiatives.

According to Eduventures, a leading market research firm, the postsecondary e-Education market is projected to grow to $11 billion by 2005, with Blackboard currently the largest company in the U.S. market. We believe that a variety of indicators demonstrate Blackboard’s unique position as an emerging industry standard for powering the academic e-Education industry:

Blackboard’s marquee academic clients include Arizona State University, Georgetown University, Florida State University, the Fairfax County School District, and Harvard Law School. Additionally, we power many of the premium commercial education brands moving online including Pearson Education Inc., LEXIS-NEXIS, Kaplan Inc., Academic Systems, AOL@School, FT Knowledge (a division of Financial Times), eArmyU, and others. Key corporate clients include JP Morgan, Boeing, and Progressive Insurance.

Blackboard benefits from key strategic partnerships with companies such as Dell, Microsoft, Oracle, Pearson, PeopleSoft, Sun, and others – relationships that include large scale licensing, channel sales and marketing, e-Commerce and technology integration. In particular, we believe that our recent global sales and development alliance with Microsoft offers a unique advantage in the marketplace and provides a significant new channel for client expansion and acquisition.

A private company, Blackboard is supported by more than $100 million in equity financing from an investor group which includes Microsoft, AOL-Time Warner, Dell, Kaplan, Pearson, Carlyle Venture Group, Merrill Lynch, Novak-Biddle Venture Partners, Oak Hill Capital Partners, and others.
