Untis UK at the BETT show in London

The BETT show is a four day event held at the start of every year in the Olympia Stadium in London. Each year the show is attended by more than 25,000 people.

Untis UK had a booth in the new section specially dedicated to software and was able to firmly re-establish its presence in the UK market: approximately 380 demo-CD-ROM’s and 400 information booklets have been handed out to interested timetablers during the four days.

There have been numerous contacts with timetablers not only from England, but from all over the world (Burma, New Zealand, South Africa, the Middle East and - of course – all over Europe), who were all impressed by gp-Untis’ wide range of features and its power. Once more it turned out that gp-Untis’ “special class groups” are the ideal tool to schedule the various options-groups - a very important advantage over other scheduling-programs.

As a result from these contacts, several demonstrations of gp-Untis will be held in the UK throught the following months – watch our homepage for details.

The BETT show was at the same time a good opportunity to touch bases with existing customers. It was a great opportunity to inform them - some are still using the old DOS version 14 ! – about the new features in gp-Untis 2006: drag&drop in the timetable, flexible teacher allocation during the optimization and the various functions of exporting the timetables to the web, to name just a few.

Several contacts have also been made with manufacturers of “classical” school-administration systems. Watch out for new interfaces, e.g. with SchoolBase (http://www.schoolbase.biz/).

In short: the BETT show was a huge success – see you there in 2007!
