1. The Power of Office 365 Enables User-Friendly Enhancements to School Management Solution
“We’re so excited about the powerful connectivity and collaboration opportunities that integrating with Office 365 brings. Our users already appreciate the efficiency and productivity gains they’ve seen, and we look forward to bringing them more with Office 365.” – Dr. Martin Rösel, CEO, Untis
SITUATION
The prevalence of Office 365 use among educators is exceptionally high, and in that popularity Untis saw an opportunity to make its web application for publishing timetables, WebUntis, more user friendly. Untis realized that making it easier for its users to do the most common and basic of tasks would be among the first and best ways to help increase user productivity, improve its product, and thereby attract more customers.
