Simon Evans
IT Manager, Cardiff University
“Because you can process students quicker using Kinetic solutions, they respond quicker, the system is able to cope with handling higher volumes quickly.”
Avril Campbell
Head of Commercial Accommodation, The University of Edinburgh
“The changes to KxConfiguration over the last couple of years have allowed us to revolutionise how we view our commercial activity…resulting in significantly increased revenue year on year allowing greater surplus generating potential.”
Sandra Davidson
Applications Delivery Manager, The University of Manchester
“We needed to get rid of a whole lot of data, but we had to do it in a controlled manner, and KxArchiver gave us the clarity and compliance we needed to meet auditing standards.
KxArchiver was a lifesaver because it wasn’t just me, as someone in IT, going into a back-end database table trying to figure out which rows to delete. We had proper criteria to be able to select that data.“
