What is the Flexible Deployment Option available with SaaS Plus and SaaS Advantage?

The Flexible Deployment Option (available with the Original experience) provides more time for you to test your customizations and integrations as well as plan change management activities. You receive security updates and maintenance fixes on a regular basis in order to maintain the highest quality environment, but changes to the platform (new features and capabilities) can be deferred and applied only twice per year (rather than as part of the continuous delivery cycle).

Blackboard’s Chief Product Officer Tim Tomlinson discusses how actively engaging with AWS helped Blackboard successfully navigate through the pandemic. Through AWS services, such as autoscaling, computer, serverless technologies, analytics, AV, and microservices, Blackboard continues to advance and create value at the intersection of education and technology.
