EMU Athletics Partners with JumpForward

YPSILANTI, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) – The Eastern Michigan University Department of Athletics has selected JumpForward, LLC as its recruiting and operational technology provider. The Eagles will implement technology solutions in the areas of recruiting, compliance monitoring and roster management in an effort to improve staff performance, reduce risk, and provide coaches with cutting-edge recruiting tools.

JumpForward, which is currently used by over 150 athletic departments nationwide, will automate many of the paper-driven processes that previously existed within the department and streamline the management of recruiting and student-athlete information. Furthermore, JumpForward will allow EMU coaches to focus more on building relationships in the recruiting process and enhancing the experience of current student-athletes.

"We are excited to work with JumpFoward," said Matt Jakobsze, EMU's Associate Athletic Director for Compliance. "JumpForward consistently leads the industry in technology, internal controls, and customer service – it's a true end-to-end platform. Our coaches are eager to implement it in their recruiting, and our administrative team values how it will contribute to our continued growth as a department."

"Working with the Eastern Michigan staff has been a pleasure," added Brad Niedermaier, JumpForward's Chief Executive Officer. "It was clear throughout the selection process they wanted cutting edge technology across the entire athletic department. From the beginning, everybody on their staff was on the same page which allowed us to complete the implementation from their previous systems in less than 30 days."

JumpForward provides a single software platform where the entire EMU staff can communicate, create and send forms electronically, and connect to campus information systems. In addition to the Unified Athletic® Department described above, Eastern Michigan also purchased several of JumpForward's integrated solutions customized for different areas of the athletic department including: Compliance, Coaches, Camps, the Business Office, Equipment, Development and Academic Services.
