Leaders in Education Trust Blue Jeans
“As a university with hundreds of staff and students, we needed a converged conferencing tool that is quick and
easy to set up with a sophisticated set of capabilities that can make an impact to our school inside and outside
of the classroom. Blue Jeans Network allows professors to lecture remotely due to harsh weather conditions and
more interestingly, we are able to give our students access to guest lecturers from around the world. ”
— Eli Jacobson, Brandeis University
