TAYLOR UNIVERSITY SELECTS TRUMBA TO INCREASE AWARENESS OF CAMPUS EVENTS

Trumba Connect Provides Enhanced Calendar Features for Connecting with Students, Alumni, and Local Community

SEATTLE, WA, March 27, 2007 – Trumba Corporation, a developer of innovative online calendaring solutions, announced today that Taylor University has selected Trumba Connect to enhance its event calendar and serve as a two-way communication tool between the University and its students, alumni, faculty, and staff. Trumba Connect is an online event calendaring solution that helps organizations increase event awareness and attendance and better connects them with their audiences through a comprehensive suite of tools that includes a hosted, interactive web calendar, email, and reporting services.

Trumba Connect allowed Taylor University to replace its old event calendar and add rich new features, such as RSS feeds, reminders via text messaging and email, and seamless integration into its website to maintain the university’s brand look and feel.

“We were looking for a product that would easily fit within our branding and provide solid calendaring,” said Evan Kittleman, director of online communications at Taylor University. “But once I learned about Trumba Connect, it became apparent that we needed more than just solid calendaring to maximize the success and usage of our event calendar. Trumba’s rich feature set exceeded my expectations and helped me create a more dynamic and interactive calendar than I originally planned.”

While the events calendar at Taylor University is centrally managed, the use of multiple editor accounts in Trumba Connect enables departments across campus to maintain their own events in the future. The campus-wide calendar currently displays a variety of activities, including admissions, athletics, performing arts, and parent and alumni events.

“As the Internet continues to be a central source of information, it is necessary for universities to have easily accessible and timely event information available online to students, alumni, and the local community,” said Jeremy Jaech, CEO of Trumba. “Trumba Connect allows Taylor University to enhance the way it delivers event data in order to drive greater awareness and attendance for its events, as well as stay better connected to the local community.”
