(Toronto) May 14, 2010 — IntelliResponse Systems Inc., provider of the patented IntelliResponse Answer Suite that delivers “One Right Answer” across a variety of customer and student interaction channels, announced today that it has extended the reach of its multi-channel Answer Suite technology to include the Blackboard Learn™ platform.

This new IntelliResponse application now allows current and future customers in Higher Education to provide users with instant access to the IntelliResponse answer technology through a single‐sign-on within the Blackboard Learn platform. With this one‐click access, clients of both IntelliResponse and Blackboard Learn can easily provide “One Right Answer” to self-service questions.

IntelliResponse client Troy University will be the first school to adopt this new capability for its students and staff.  Troy’s award-winning eCampus division provides its web-based courses via the Blackboard Learn platform.

“Given our long-standing history of helping Higher Education Institutions deliver answers to student questions, reduce strain on student administration centers and gain valuable voice of the student data, this integration is a natural extension of the value IntelliResponse provides to higher education institutions across North America,” said David Lloyd, President, IntelliResponse.

“We were thrilled to hear that IntelliResponse was extending the reach of its multi-channel Answer Suite to include the Blackboard Learn platform,” said Ronnie Creel, eCampus Director of Educational Technology at Troy University.  “We look forward to providing our users with the same innovative “One Right Answer” technology that we currently provide on our Troy e-Campus Web-Site.”

IntelliResponse’s patented question and answer technology delivers “One Right Answer” 24 hours a day, 7 days a week across a wide array of assisted and self-service customer interaction channels that include corporate and institutional web sites, mobile devices, customer service desktops and social media platforms.
