"We can see the exciting evolution of the technology sector reflected in the quality and variety of exceptional companies that we had to choose from in putting our list together. It was tough to choose just 200 finalists from such a large list of excellent contenders, and we are very happy with the quality of the companies we selected as finalists. Elluminate is on the list because of its innovative and entrepreneurial achievements. Evaluations were made on both quantitative and qualitative criteria, such as financial performance, innovation, management, strategy, and ecosystem integration."

"Since 2000, Elluminate has pioneered the development of live eLearning and web collaboration technology for academic institutions and other organizations worldwide. We are honored that the Red Herring editors recognize this and the value it brings to our customers. Being named to the Red Herring 100 validates our leadership in delivering innovative solutions that transform teaching, learning, and the business of education. In 2008, we will continue to raise the bar with new products that take educators beyond the virtual classroom to support the entire instructional cycle."
