iLinc Communications, Inc. (AMEX:ILC), a leading developer of Web
conferencing software and audio conferencing solutions, announced
today that California State University, Fullerton (CSUF) has
selected the iLinc software suite as the backbone for a host of
projects that will connect students and faculty across multiple
campuses. California�s second largest university will use iLinc for
everything from training and distance learning to offering online
science labs and virtual faculty office hours. Cal State Fullerton
has a student enrollment of 37,000 who are spread across the
university�s 236 acre main campus in Fullerton and satellites in
Irvine, Santa Ana and Garden Grove. The university is part of the
23 campus California State University System, the largest
university system in the United States. �iLinc offered us the
scalability we needed, an open application programming interface
and an easy to implement licensing model designed specifically for
the university environment,� said Amir Dabirian, Chief Information
Technology Officer for CSUF. �We also had some unique requirements
such as the need to integrate with the Cal State learning
management system and the capability to host science labs across
our multiple sites and iLinc met those needs as well.� iLinc offers
universities specialized toolsets for distance learning, online
meetings, conferences and more through its comprehensive suite of
software products. The applications work on both PCs and Apple
computers and are easily managed via iLinc�s intuitive user
interface. �Just like corporations, universities are increasingly
looking for ways to leverage technology to improve productivity,
save money and enhance the learning experience,� said Jason Walker,
Vice President of Sales for iLinc. �What we do is make it easy for
them to implement an enterprise-wide solution from both a cost and
integration standpoint and work with them to find multiple ways to
leverage the tools across the administration, faculty and student
populations.� iLinc offers a unique approach for higher learning
organizations that are looking to secure an enterprise-wide
solution with a budget-minded approach to upfront costs. By
enabling colleges and universities to scale the costs of their
enterprise solution as the Web conferencing usage of their
different schools grows, iLinc helps CIOs and training execs within
higher education organizations to initiate live, distance learning
capabilities via the iLinc virtual classroom throughout their
entire school system without large upfront expense. �The Enterprise
University License selected by CSUF is just one of several larger
transactions that we had anticipated would close in the December
quarter,� said James M. Powers, Jr., President and Chief Executive
Officer of iLinc. �We see a shifting marketplace that for many
reasons is more and more opting for a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS)
or subscription model despite the high ROI offered by our
traditional software license model. This shift provides iLinc with
longer-term recurring subscription revenue that is more
predictable, but yet provides less immediate revenue than our
software license model. Despite this key customer win not
reflecting on our current financials, we are excited to have CSUF
as a long-term customer that will provide us the opportunity to
grow our recurring revenue as we move forward,� concluded Dr.
Powers. About iLinc Communications, Inc. iLinc Communications, Inc.
