For this 102nd Episode of Ultimate Guide to Partnering, I interview a founder that I've had the chance to work with, Raymond Bily, the CEO of BrightArrow Technologies. I met Raymond while I was Channel Chief at Blackbaud and BrightArrow was a Rising Star Partner of the Year. In this episode, Raymond shares his rich and fascinating story and how BrightArrow partners with technology organizations to deliver a complete K12 solution.

Since the pandemic began, I have written, blogged, and recorded podcasts about how society has been impacted, and how organizations can come out of this time, better than before. One area where most of us have been affected is Education and Learning. I see firsthand through my engagement with partners like BrightArrow, how educators and schools are adjusting from the physical to the virtual, and back to the physical again. Technologies like BrightArrow enable a smooth transition through persistent and pervasive communications.

BrightArrow has been at the center of the digital transformation happening in K12 Education as its solutions are being deployed in many new use cases since the pandemic. I invited Raymond to share his rich and fascinating story, how BrightArrow partners with other technology organizations to deliver a complete solution to customers and why customers and partners choose to work with Bright Arrow.

Things you’ll learn in this episode:

* How BrightArrow revolutionizes the way organizations deliver messages simultaneously to large groups of people. * How BrightChat is used by teachers, coaches, and administrators for secure two-way communications. * BrightArrow symbiotic partnership to deliver notification as part of a broader technology solution.* Raymond's rich and fascinating journey, including being one of the very first employees at Microsoft.

I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I enjoyed spending time with Raymond Bily.
