competitive, and we are proud that ShareStream was fortunate to be

for the IMS awards to be given in recognition of our work with
Georgetown University because Georgetown has been a critical partner
for ShareStream from the beginning," stated Weinstein.

ShareStream's digital media management and delivery solution was
initially developed in collaboration with Georgetown University at its

manage, secure, and deliver media for over 220 courses, in addition to
providing mandatory orientation content to all students studying in
its satellite campus in Qatar. ShareStream serviced roughly 220,000
on-demand requests for digital media during the past year.

remarkable educational tool. ShareStream has allowed our faculty and
