Journey Education Marketing ("JourneyEd") is the leading multi-channel software marketer to the K-12 and post-secondary academic markets, which include students, faculty, staff, educational institutions and public school districts. These markets are unique in that the academic versions of software/hardware/hardware are sold at a deep discount, even though they are typically identical to the full price commercial versions. In order to protect their margins, it is imperative that software/hardware vendors ensure that these deeply discounted products are sold only to qualified students, faculty/staff and educational institutions. JourneyEd is a leader in the business of verifying academic buyers and a preferred software/hardware marketer for the largest software/hardware companies, including Adobe, Autodesk, Avid, Corel, and Microsoft. Journey's Academic eStore Network (AEN) is made up of over 30,000 member eStores.
