At Akari, our passion for education is rewarded by witnessing the value our technology brings to the many inspiring Universities we have the privilege to partner with internationally. I am fortunate to lead a talented group of people, bringing to life the systematic management of Universities' Curriculum through world class software applications. We understand the power of 'connected' curriculum as a continuous improvement enabler in quality and operational process efficiencies, directly impacting student success. By transforming curriculum into a smart digital asset, Akari enables institutions to equip leadership with insights that support data lead strategic decisions. In the new Higher Education operational norm with remote work and online/hybrid delivery of learning content, institutional agility is essential whilst maintaining quality and governance. The core technology solutions co-exist to share and deliver data between systems seamlessly. That interoperability demands that institutions can choose best-in-breed solutions ensuring they can easily integrate with incumbent applications. At Akari we have invested in our open architecture ensuring sustainable integrations with Student Management Systems (Ellucian Banner, PeopleSoft Campus, Tribal SITS, StudentOne etc) and Learning Management Systems (Canvas, Anthology / Blackboard, D2l etc), resulting in engaged students and successful student learning outcomes.
