"Universities and other educational customers are a natural fit for our products as audio, video and images are becoming as commonplace as documents in the classroom and more and more students are working remotely. We are very excited to provide NYU SCPS students, faculty and administrators with entirely new and highly dynamic instruments to access, manage and preview multimedia files," said Donald Leka, Chairman and CEO of TransMedia. "Furthermore, our education customers can count on the fact that they have a solution that is comprehensive, scalable and cost-effective moving forward" added Mr. Leka.
