Elluminate reportedly has announced that it’s seen strong growth in adoption and usage of its live eLearning and Web collaboration tools, as the company is providing more than 600 million minutes of live, online instruction annually.

 

The major reasons for this growth are the continuing high rate of customer satisfaction and loyalty, according to Elluminate. Lots of customers have been renewing existing contracts with the company and new ones are coming in regularly, company officials say.

 

Clients of the company come from virtual schools, school districts, community colleges, universities, corporations and other organizations, seeking centered learning, on-demand collaboration, start-to-finish session management, content creation and distribution, and enterprise-wide adoption.

 

New customers secured by the company include Amridge University, Anaheim Union High School District, Association of Canadian Community Colleges, Eastern Wyoming College, Indiana Department of Education, OCR Examination Board, Queensland University of Technology, Thomson (News - Alert) Rivers University, UCLA, United States Marine Corps College of Continuing Education, Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico, and Valencian International University.

 

“Elluminate is extremely proud to have earned the commitment and loyalty of so many enthusiastic customers worldwide, especially in these tough economic times,” said Maurice Heiblum, president of Elluminate. “Our continuing growth across academic markets represents the willingness of institutions at all levels to invest in enabling technology that is positively impacting education by engaging more people in more ways.”

 

Elluminate claims that the customers are finding its solutions such as “Elluminate Plan!,” “Elluminate Publish!” and flagship product “Elluminate Live!,” particularly appealing as it helps them to achieve their online learning goals.

 

The company recently expanded its role as the leading vendor for live, online communication, collaboration, and education for the academic market with Elluminate VCS, an affordable, high-quality, multipoint video collaboration solution. Elluminate developed its newest product in response to customer feedback about challenges with some of these offerings. Issues include exorbitant costs, limited scalability, significant hardware requirements, and ongoing reliance on IT support.
