Reach thousands in minutes with the power of your personal voice.

The company's Connect platform of communication services provides users with the ability to quickly and reliably reach community members in minutes with critical information——via voice, e-mail, and text messaging.

Backed by highly secure, reliable systems, geo-dispersed centers, and unrivaled client care, the Connect platform includes the Connect-ED®, Connect-CTY®, Connect-GOV® and Connect-MIL® services.

The Connect platform serves higher education institutions nationwide and the families of one in every six students enrolled in the nation’s K-12 public schools are covered by the service. The Connect platform also serves local, state and Federal government agencies, including U.S. military units.

Provide leadership with time-sensitive, multimodal communication.

The Connect family of services is designed to allow users to quickly and easily record and send time-sensitive, multimodal notifications to tens of thousands of people in minutes using just a telephone.

Our advanced Web-based systems, designed specifically for each market, allow users to target specific groups and/or geographic regions within their database(s) and engage recipients in two-way communication by asking them to respond to questions via their telephone keypads. Voice messages can be sent to recipients' landlines, cell phones, and e-mail accounts and text messages can be sent to recipients' cell phones, e-mail accounts, networked digital signage, other text receiving devices, such as PDAs, and to TTY/TDD (text telephone) devices.

Because the Connect family of notification services operates as a hosted Software as a Service (SaaS) solution, users are able to deploy a complete notification system quickly and easily without investing in, or maintaining, hardware, software, or additional phone lines.

The Connect family of services is distinguished by proven reliability, speed, capacity, efficiency, and ease of use. Further, users benefit from Blackboard Connect’s superior focus, dedication, and expertise.

Educational and governmental organizations nationwide are achieving major improvements in parent/community involvement, operational efficiency, employee communication, and overall public relations and constituency care with the help of the Connect platform from Blackboard Connect.
