A trend we have observed is that a lot of jurisdictions are switching vendors. Some of the reasons for this are described below

  • Jurisdictions implemented stop gap solutions for scheduling and want to switch to end to end solutions that provide integrations and other functionality.

  • Solutions in place did not function or scale as expected.

Before making a decision to switch, please read
