Semestry was founded in 2013 in Scotland to deliver a better scheduling and resource management solution for higher education called TermTime. TermTime is a cloud-based solution that provides comprehensive scheduling and resource booking capabilities. It allows both students and faculty to easily view and update scheduling information from any device with a browser. Semestry aims to help higher education institutions better manage their costs by providing TermTime through the cloud with no upfront hardware or licensing fees and lower ongoing training and support costs compared to traditional on-premise systems.

About Semestry
A fast moving and demanding education sector deserves a scheduling and
resource management partner that is up to the challenge.
Semestry was founded in 2013 in the UK, well Scotland to be precise. We were formed with the
express mission to deliver a better, simpler yet richer scheduling and resource management solution
to Higher Education globally. We are driven by innovation and the belief that there is a better way to
help our customers to serve their learners, staff and partners in a more inclusive, collaborative and
effective manner.
Delivering our vision has led us to design and build TermTime, the world’s first built for the cloud
scheduling and resource management solution for Higher Education. Our company is our people and
we have brought together expertise from education, software and the services sectors. We
understand the issues that face our customers and by working closely with them we are building a
better way forward through our partnership.
The TermTime journey has taken us to the next generation of Scheduling and Resource
management.

idea how long you will have to wait. Upgrades and back-ups with all of the inconvenience that they
bring are a thing of the past. As new and exciting functionality roles out to TermTime, your only
decision will be which bits or all of it you want your users to have access to. We give you the power
to control TermTime by putting you back in the driving seat.
Better Manage Your Costs

There are none of the high initial and ongoing costs associated with the traditional 4th
generation
client server systems. No worrying about having to find a slot with IT to get that latest vital upgrade
or bug fix. The natural intuitiveness of TermTime’s user interface reduces the initial and on-going
training overhead dramatically. New members of staff joined your team? no problem, they can be
up and running in no time.

You no longer have hardware costs to worry about. You don’t need to upgrade your servers, buy
new ones or create new virtual servers. We also don’t care what PC, laptop or even tablet you are
using, as long as you have a browser, you can happily begin scheduling on your shiny new Macbook
Pro.
No more licencing headaches, you don’t need to buy any new database licences and worry about
how many users might need access. We want everyone to have access to these key systems and will
not restrict you going global to your user community.
