Our projects:

We only work on our own products; we do not outsource.

CMS (Curriculum Management System): Our first product. We started working on it five years ago and it is already making success around the globe. It is a fully integrated End to End solution for Curriculum Management, enabling Universities to capture, manage and publish the curriculum structures of all their current and planned offerings. It is a great enabler and time saver for our Client Universities.

PTC (Plan Track & Check): This is our second product. We have just started working on it, and that is where we need your help. We are developing this product on a strong foundation created by CMS and a good understanding of Education processes and technologies. We are taking lessons we learned from the mobile-first approach and applying those lessons as we work to effectively accommodate all screen sizes. You will have the opportunity to learn more about our PTC product in an interview.
