Akari aims to be top of its class

Cork-based Akari Software, one of the first companies in Europe to develop curriculum management software for universities, has done its homework properly and is rapidly expanding into overseas markets, writes Trish Dromey.

ONE of the first companies in Europe to develop curriculum management software for universities, Akari Software in Cork is now expanding with a view to developing international exports.

Recognised by Enterprise Ireland as a high potential start-up earlier this year, the company has increased its staff size from three to 12 in the last six months. Selling to 11 higher education institutes in Ireland, it is now in negotiations with several British universities and is also entering into a reseller partnership agreement in order to develop sales in Austria.
