A Knowledge Transfer Partnership (KTP) between the University of East Anglia and Azura has been approved by the DTI. The intention is to research and develop the next generation of scheduling tools for mobile workforces and other areas where resources are limited, helping companies become more effective.

The products will be targeted at SMEs, allowing them to obtain the benefits of scheduling and service management systems currently only available to corporates.

Azura CEO, Simon Pullum said “This is very exciting and will allow us to develop solutions which will allow companies to deliver better customer service at a reduced cost”.
