Clever's single sign-on capabilities will provide educators and students easy access to EXO U's operating-neutral platform

MONTREAL, May 11, 2015 /PRNewswire/ - EXO U Inc.

The Company plans to continue to enter into agreements with additional partners and distributors to enhance its product offering and expand its reach into the education sector.

Key Facts on the Partnership:
