“Our primary business model is based on economies of scale,” said Matt Ryan, Vice-President of Operations. “We work with education consortia nationwide to consolidate their member’s purchasing power. In today’s economy, schools are looking to save money anywhere they can, so our services are in high demand. We are very happy with our 2010 growth and look forward to continuing to grow at this pace in 2011.”

ScholarBuys serves the academic community exclusively, allowing educational institutions to purchase at significant savings. The firm is a value-added reseller of computer software, hardware, and peripherals, by such well-known brands as Microsoft and Adobe.

ScholarBuys partners with academic consortia and decentralized university systems, negotiating with technology publishers to obtain the best deals possible for academic institutions. This is accomplished by utilizing the buying power of the group, allowing educational institutions to remain current in computer technology at an affordable cost. They also benefit software publishers by making their programs available to a significantly larger market.

The company’s team of seasoned executives has a strong background and experience in academic software. They provide aid with obtaining and managing software licensing to eliminate liability, provide savings, and increase security and productivity. In addition, they work with security providers which include Symantec, Kaspersky, McAfee, Panda, Sophos, and AVG.

ScholarBuys also developed a new brand in 2010 that focuses heavily on discounts available to higher education students and faculty. The firm plans on continuing this successful pattern by developing a number of new brands, all housed under the ScholarBuys Academic Marketing umbrella for increased service and opportunities to additional client markets.

The firm’s services have proven extremely popular and cost-effective. ScholarBuys officially began business in a basement in late 2007. They focused primarily on social networking techniques to establish their brand and market their services. Educational facilities and software publishers quickly recognized the benefit of partnering with ScholarBuys.

In just three short years, they went from a startup company to a firm with over $8 million in revenue. They experienced a 30 percent increase in revenue growth during 2010. Because they bring creative solutions to academic institutions, the company quickly gained a reputation for outstanding value and service that promises a continued increase in growth for the future.

ScholarBuys offers unique, cost-effective opportunities for educational institutions to obtain the software they need to remain current, retain students, protect their investment, and stay within budgetary requirements. Their services also benefit software publishers by providing them additional customers who might not otherwise have access to their software.
