NEW YORK, 2013-06-17 14:05 CEST (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --
The NASDAQ OMX Group, Inc. (Nasdaq:NDAQ) today announced four new university

industry leading cloud technology for boards.
'Enhancing board communications is a major goal of our strategic plan,' said
Peter Campanella, Chairman, Ball State University Foundation. 'This is a
perfect time to introduce secure online technology, which will not only
facilitate communications during board meetings but also allow us to build an

current and comprehensive collection of governance documents, reference and
education materials, orientation information and other pertinent data will
always be at their fingertips.'
'We are seeing a growing demand from colleges and universities across the globe
that are looking to improve their board's digital footprint, while

efforts.'
