About Us

What we do

e-academy is the world's leading provider of hosted electronic software delivery (ESD) solutions and software license compliance for the education market. Founded in 1997, e-academy's sole commitment is to maximize software availability on campuses by reducing the total cost of software distribution and license compliance for both educational institutions and software vendors.

How we do it

e-academy's License Management System (eLMS) is a robust web-based solution for software distribution. eLMS can seamlessly integrate with our client's authentication system and allow eligible users 24x7 access to software in an eLMS WebStore. The eLMS interface itself provides a policy-driven, attribute-based authentication engine, full and secure ESD infrastructure, supply-chain integration, financial settlements and on-demand reporting --- providing customers with an end-to-end automated license management solution.

Education Resellers choose us to quickly implement hassle-free web-based solutions for the institutions and end users they serve.

Students, faculty and staff choose e-academy WebStores as an easy, one-stop shop for accessing all the software they need to be successful.

History

Ram Raju is the CEO and founder of e-academy. Prior to founding e-academy, Raju had over a decade of experience operating a campus-wide software deployment and licensing department and a retail software and hardware store at a large Canadian University. These years provided him with an intimate understanding of the logistics and challenges inherent in managing software in an academic environment.

e-academy pioneered electronic software distribution in the education market. Millions of students, faculty and staff have since benefited from such innovative programs as MSDNAA (free Microsoft software for the Information Systems, Engineering, Computer Science and Design schools), software rentals such as SPSS and Minitab and volume license management.

Why choose us?

With an international client base and relationships with leading software providers such as Microsoft and Adobe, e-academy is a trusted source for bridging the gap between many of the world's largest software companies and the institutions and end users they serve. Through a growing network of almost 30,000 WebStores, e-academy currently supports millions of transactions annually in 90 countries and several languages. The majority of transactions are via ESD but delivery of physical media is also supported.

Whether you are a school/campus license administrator, software reseller or software publisher, an e-academy solution will streamline the processes associated with software distribution and management.
