AppointLink’s Vision for 2024: A Year of Innovation and Growth
As we step into 2024, AppointLink is poised for a year of significant advancement and growth.
Reflecting on the remarkable success of the last six months of 2023, a period that marked our best performance since enacting pivotal changes in our business model back in 2017-18, we’re excited about the future.
A key highlight of the past year was initiating our partnership with Extegrity, developers of Exam4 software. This integration will not only streamline grading and scheduling processes for our clients but also significantly enhance the joint AppointLink/Exam4 user experience.
Our customer base has now expanded to more than 40 law schools, both large and small, reflecting our growing momentum and the effectiveness of our solutions.
Behind the scenes, we’ve been working tirelessly to make our software even more intuitive and user friendly than ever. These improvements have eased the transition from semester to semester, a critical stress point for all law schools.
Looking ahead, we are thrilled about the potential of our Exam4 connector. This innovation is expected to alleviate the manual efforts and security challenges currently faced by overworked faculty and staff. Furthermore, discussions about leveraging AI for data analytics promise a future where AppointLink can offer more than just tools; we aim to provide insights and guidance directly to faculties and administrative staff.
Our focus on standardization of grading using new tools marks a shift from traditional methods to more streamlined, efficient approaches. This change is not just about adopting new technology; it’s about being part of a revolution in educational administration.
In conclusion, 2024 is set to be a year where AppointLink not only reinforces its existing successes but also pioneers new pathways in education technology. We’re dedicated to ensuring that no school gets left behind in this technological revolution. Join us in embracing these exciting changes!
