The Chronicle of Higher Education Wired Campus: Blackboard Makes Nice With SunGard, Polishes 'Darth Vader' Image

The Chronicle of Higher Education posted an article on the agreement between Blackboard Inc. and SunGard Higher Education to deliver better integration and support services to their common customers.  The article states, “Blackboard, often in the news for buying and suing rival software companies, is making nice with SunGard. The two higher-ed software giants announced on Wednesday an agreement ‘to deliver better integration and support services to their common customers.’ …For customers, ‘their big question has always been, 'Well, will SunGard's new release work with the old release that we've got of Blackboard, or vice versa?’ said Fred Weiss, senior vice president for product strategy at SunGard. ‘We will provide utmost clarity to our customers, and be working collaboratively with each other to make sure that customers are aware exactly what our plans are.’"
