Campus Pipeline and SCT Pass 400 Campus Milestone,
Signed Campuses Represent More Than Two Million Enrolled Students Who Will Be Able to Save Time and Increase Productivity Through Seamless Integration
Between Campus Services, Activities and the Internet
MALVERN, Pa., July 14 /PRNewswire/ -- Campus Pipeline, Inc. and SCT (Nasdaq: SCTC) are radically changing the way college services are delivered. Today the companies announced that more than 400 campuses have contracted to receive the Campus Pipeline(TM) Web platform. An agreement with the University of Nebraska brings the total number of enrolled students at campuses with Campus Pipeline licenses to over two million.
This follows on last week's announcement that the first commercial release of Campus Pipeline shipped on schedule. It is now being integrated and deployed at some SCT client schools, and interfaced with existing applications.
The alliance between SCT and Campus Pipeline combines SCT's education market strength with Campus Pipelines innovation to create a powerful integration and distribution structure. SCT is the leading global provider of information systems to higher education, and Campus Pipeline is the college online services leader.
"Our goal was to have contractual commitments from schools representing two million students by the end of 1999," said Darin Gilson, co-CEO of Campus Pipeline. "Realizing this milestone five months early is a testament to the incredible receptiveness the higher education community has demonstrated for a powerful web-enabling solution."
Campus Pipeline seamlessly integrates the power and access of the Internet with the security and personalization of SCT's Banner2000(TM) and Plus2000(TM) campus information systems. This combination provides 24-hour access to campus and Internet resources and goes beyond the traditional Internet portal with role-based personalization, security and ease of use. SCT information systems are installed at nearly 50 percent of U.S. colleges and universities with enrollment greater than 2,000 students.
"Strong market acceptance of this solution continues at an unprecedented pace," said Rod Everhart, president, SCT Education Solutions, an SCT market unit. "SCT's clients -- and we have by far the largest number in the higher education marketplace -- turn to us to enhance and leverage their relationships with all their key constituencies -- students, faculty, administrators and alumni," Everhart added. "Campus Pipeline's powerful integration with SCT solutions benefits colleges and universities by creating on-line communities that extend the school's branding beyond the campus grounds, and allows them to launch initiatives faster and at lower cost."
Unmatched in its functionality, Campus Pipeline seamlessly integrates with a school's existing information system. For the first time -- from a single homebase -- students can enroll, register for classes, view grades, request transcripts and loan status, obtain reading lists, buy books, access e-mail and participate in interactive chat sessions with their professors.
In addition to making the student and faculty experience on campus more enjoyable and efficient, Campus Pipeline is redefining the education business model using Web-based services. By making on-campus processes more manageable and secure, Campus Pipeline lowers operating costs and increases return on investment, potentially saving colleges and universities hundreds of thousands of dollars annually. It also reduces the costs of attracting students and retaining them as contributing alumni after graduation.
Campus Pipeline's potential to reach more than two million students is an important and fast-growing share of the estimated 14.4 million post and secondary students in the U.S., who spend more than $90 billion annually in discretionary goods and services. The Campus Pipeline business model allows organizations to reach out to this highly-targeted and difficult to reach demographic through a combination of sponsorships and e-commerce relationships. Sponsors and partners can offer their goods and services to this student community in a secure, elegant, non-obtrusive fashion. Students will have the ability to purchase books, CDs, electronic equipment, apparel, athletic gear, and book travel arrangements, all from their personalized homebase. Campus Pipeline provides the total, easy-to-use solution to meet the purchasing needs of students and other campus users.
