JumpForward's Android App Proactively Prevents Violations for College Athletic DepartmentsAug 31, 2010 (PRWeb.com via COMTEX) -- JumpForward (http://www.jumpforward.com), the leading provider of web and mobile solutions to college athletic departments, will soon be releasing its first version of its patent-pending Android mobile application for college athletic departments. With clients in the Big Ten, Big East, ACC, MAC, and SEC, JumpForward provides a customized, end-to-end recruiting and compliance platform that strengthens a college athletic department's internal controls, policies, and procedures. For many NCAA athletic departments, the inability to monitor phone calls, text messages, and e-mails can lead to damaging recruiting violations. The cost of a violation can lead to lost scholarships, recruiting bans, and a damaged brand. For years, college athletic departments have been manually logging prospect communications and then sending those logs to the compliance department where they search for violations. This process is time consuming and only discovers violations after they have occurred. In the last two years, 18 college athletic departments were cited with major infractions for telephone, text message, and email violations. The JumpForward Android application monitors prospect communications in real time and is the only product available that proactively prevents these types of violations before they occur. "It's truly amazing to see the excitement among college compliance officers and coaches," said Adam McCombs, CEO of JumpForward. "The JumpForward native mobile Android application is the glue that combines JumpForward's best-in-class recruiting solution to our ground-breaking compliance products. Our goal is to use technology to improve the way college athletic departments communicate so they can avoid costly NCAA infractions and protect their valuable brands." In addition to the compliance capabilities of the JumpForward Android application, college coaches are now able to collaborate more effectively in real-time. With JumpForward's Android application, college coaches who are always traveling are able to update and add prospects, find directions, send branded e-mails, and see real-time communication events with their prospects. Instead of wondering if an assistant e-mailed or called a prospect, the head coach can more effectively collaborate with his or her staff members and increase the team's overall recruiting productivity. About JumpForward: The JumpForward solution creates significant operating efficiencies while increasing internal controls at a surprisingly affordable price. JumpForward has brought together Fortune 500 executives, the best technology experts, and over 100 years of combined college athletic department and compliance experience to create long term, innovative solutions for coaches and compliance departments.
