ScholarBuys Sees Significant Growth

ScholarBuys Sees Significant Growth
Company Offers Economies of Scale to Decentralized Academic Purchasers of Technology

Carpentersville, IL / July 28 / -- ScholarBuys, a value added reseller of computer software, hardware, and peripherals to decentralized academic institutions around the U.S., announces that it has seen unprecedented growth recently despite the increasingly challenging economic environment. ScholarBuys brings substantial benefit to decentralized academic institutions that are purchasing technology due to the purchasing power it can offer such customers in the aggregate as well as the firm’s unique knowledge about technology licensing requirements. Dealing with technology licenses and their associated contracts is time consuming and challenging for academic purchasers. With academic departmental budgets seeing cuts across the board, turning to a solution provider such as ScholarBuys is a logical choice.

A company spokesman remarked, “In today's turbulent economy, it's nice to have a stable business partner that you can rely on. ScholarBuys is a privately held company that is self funded and debt free. Our spectacular success amidst a down market often prompts people to inquire about the secret to our success. Our philosophy is simple: we run a very lean operation, provide great pricing and focus on building long term relationships.” The company prides itself on its excellence in service, innovation, optimism, and creativity. Customers ranging from Adelphi University in New York to the Great Falls, Montana public school system give the firm high marks for its ability to consistently exceed expectations.

As a result of its track record and increased market demand, ScholarBuys is in expansion mode, targeting new customers and publishing partners. ScholarBuys has uniquely focused on the academic marketplace – schools with grades K through 12 and institutions of higher education, as well as academic purchasing cooperatives and consortia. Many academic purchasers don’t know if their institution is covered under a purchasing agreement for academic technology. ScholarBuys often works with such institutions to investigate and assist with establishing an agreement.
