Faculty of History at Cambridge chooses ORB

The Faculty of History at the University of Cambridge has chosen ORB to run its Resource Bookings and Timetables.

You can see their live ‘public’ site by clicking here.

John Dolan, Computer Officer at the faculty, said “We needed a program that would automatically update timetables for students, but with the comprehensive room booking and reporting, ORB has become an invaluable resource for the faculty, which saves us hundreds of man hours and reams of paper every term.”
