To address this, about 82 percent of them are looking forward to improving the quality of their educational process and execution. This marks the vital transition needed in the process of how institutions transmit education to the students and the ecosystem they provide to the stakeholders.
Applane was set up on 24th May 2012 with a vision of helping educational institutions increase their efficiency and performance through seamless process automation and control. Though Indian companies have made their mark as first rate IT service providers, not many Indian IT products exist that have made it big in the international market.
