When the Faculty of Arts at Masaryk University was faced with building renovation, the old manual timetabling process was no longer sufficient. "This class has always been in this room on Monday morning" and "this professor likes this room" just wasn't going to cut it.

Opencast and SWITCH
When the Swiss National Research and Education Network SWITCH were looking for a robust and open video management platform, they chose Opencast. SWITCH offer services to a range of education and research customers with high expectations of service quality. SWITCH decided to improve the already robust Opencast software with a community initiative.

The entire community of Opencast adopters gained from the SWITCH initiative.
