[aklug] Re: OT:? CMS at ASD

So. Are we buying this for the school district or the union?

I looked at their website. Most of their case studies ar for
universities, large corporations, and the government sector. They do
have one for haw they can help your union's organization.

I saw nothing about schools or school districts, let alone how it can
help students.
