Fairfield, NJ – October 7, 2009 – Timecruiser Computing Corporation®, Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) partner to the higher education community, today announced that The College of Westchester (CW), has selected Timecruiser’s Solution Suite – CampusCruiser™ and CourseCruiser™ LMS – as its campus-wide academic portal and Learning Management System.

CampusCruiser and CourseCruiser were chosen to replace the current systems after an extensive review process and intensive testing. “We couldn’t be more pleased with our decision to partner with Timecruiser. CampusCruiser will give us integration with or ERP system, communities and collaboration tools, such as student profiles & clubs, professional committees, Cruiser Café Social Network, blogs, and email and calendaring solutions,” said Kelly Walsh, CIO, the College of Westchester. “When all of our online, hybrid, and technology-enhanced face to face courses are transitioned to CourseCruiser LMS, we will be able to provide a seamless user experience, encouraging collaboration among instructors, students, committees, and teams.”

“Timecruiser welcomes The College of Westchester to the Timecruiser community,” said Allen Wang, president and CEO, Timecruiser. “Making the decision to switch to a new learning system is never easy. We look forward to partnering with CW and making their transition to CampusCruiser and CourseCruiser smooth and successful.”
