From the beginning, the most common reason that schools have licensed our software is to centralize their scheduling operation. Double-bookings and confusion tend to become overwhelming in manual processes at all but the smallest institutions.

Centralized scheduling, however, can have some limitations: problematic SIS interfaces, no integration to related systems like personal calendaring, accounting, and portals, limit the reliability of such systems and the access to real-time data for all of the campus stakeholders.

For these reasons, the guiding technical considerations in our Version VII re-engineering process have been integration and access to data. Most important, we believe, are the SIS and Portal Integration capabilities in Version VII.
