“I first heard about Numara Software from a number of higher education institutions while I was at a user conference in Baltimore for EDUCAUSE,” stated Melissa Jackman, help desk manager at Duquesne University. “Once I started to view product demos and learn more about the company, I realized that it was the perfect match for us. The implementation has been very smooth and the customer support has been excellent, and we are so thrilled that we’ve implemented the Numara Software FootPrints solution.”

Along with Duquesne University, other premier institutions that have recently selected Numara Software include: Yale University Law School, Wake Forest Graduate Business School and Lasell College.

“Numara FootPrints was the sensible next step for our growing IT needs,” stated Deborah Gelch, Chief Information Officer at Lasell College. “We were already familiar with the product’s ease-of-use and the friendly and supportive customer service staff at Numara Software. We knew what we wanted to get out of the product and Numara FootPrints’ flexibility and customization capabilities made it easy to integrate with our staff and existing applications.”

Numara Track-It! and Numara FootPrints automate critical IT and support functions, such as service desk automation for internal and external support along with asset management, software patch and deployment and network monitoring.
