Congrats on the launch of Coursedog!

I work in HE in Australia and a number of unis have switched from manual/xls to Akari [0]

A comparison page on your website with CourseDog vs X would be welcome – just so it’s easy to see what you provide vs the market

A scheduling tool that works with academic workload models (not sure if this is Australia specific thing) that optimises[1] academic and resource/room allocation would be very welcome

* No. 1 complaint from students is class scheduling!

[0] http://www.akarisoftware.com/index.cfm/page/solutions

[1] with multiple optimisation models

  - students want more classes at student friendly times that allow work+study
  - universities want less classes
  - academics want classes in work friendly hours etc...

Hi also Justin,

You described what we do perfectly. We're pretty interested in expanding internationally, and would love to connect via a call if you are open to it?
