Democrasoft Engages Investment Banker

SANTA ROSA, Calif., Sept. 21, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Democrasoft, Inc. (NASDAQ BB: DEMO) today announced that it has engaged Business Team, a unit of BTI Group, the largest business brokerage firm in the Western United States, to locate a strategic partner for its flagship subsidiary, Collaborize Classroom, Inc., one of the leading providers of educational collaboration tools. 

"We have taken Collaborize Classroom from a standing start to more than 36,000 teacher sites and almost 2 million lessons delivered worldwide, in less than two years," said Richard Lang, President and CEO of Democrasoft.  "We think that a partner with a deep bench and more marketing muscle can do a lot, at this point in its development, to take Collaborize Classroom to the next level and make it the de facto standard for blended-learning worldwide. And, with the proceeds from a transaction, we will be able to properly exploit the natural evolution of our Collaborize platform, the WeJITTM."

Built on the same basic platform as Collaborize Classroom, Democrasoft is revolutionizing e-book and e-magazine publishing by enabling publishers and authors to seamlessly build into their works the ability to communicate directly with readers and to permit readers to communicate among themselves, taking reading and collaboration to a whole new level.  Initial response has been enthusiastic, and publishers are have a substantial incentive to get on the WeJIT bandwagon to avoid being at a competitive disadvantage.

In addition to WeJITs, Democrasoft will continue to offer its Town Hall Online, Collaborize NPO and Collaborize Workplace products, which provide easy-to-use cloud-based collaboration capabilities to politicians and governments, non-profits and other organizations.

"We are on the leading edge of the collaboration tidal wave," said Lang.  "As the use of the Internet matures, people are understanding that it is not there just to play games and read the news—the Internet is a foundation for meaningful communication and collaboration, which makes us all more efficient and effective.  Our products are literally designed to put the power into WE"
