Dear Blackboard enthusiasts,
This is to give you a heads up about some exciting news on the Blackboard
front. Last month, we have created an International Line of Business.
This is evidence of our enormous growth: in the UK and Ireland alone we are
at 60 licensed customers (about evenly divided between Further and Higher
education), a further 2000 courses from this region have been created at
http://coursesites.blackboard.com
The company's staff has grown by over 120% over the past 7 months - in part
organic growth, but largely through some acquisitions. As is often the
case in acquisitions, we found that there were a few positions that were
redundant to the organization and these are the areas that were cut through
a recent alignment. On the international front, I am very pleased to
report that we will continue to expand our team to service our client base
even better. We remain committed to our standards work and have added some
additional resources there already. We will be announcing some additional
exciting details related to international early next week, but in the
interim please feel free to contact me with any questions.
Kind regards,
Bas ten Holter
Director, Blackboard Europe
