Press Release Summary: American University in Dubai (AUD) has selected UniversiTools
from White Mountain Technologies to manage its scheduling needs. For its line of
university management software, White Mountain has focused on complex scheduling as
a core pain-point which universities in the Middle East and Africa face.

Press Release Body: AUD, a private institute of career-oriented education in the
United Arab Emirates, will implement UniversiTools Classroom Scheduler, Exam
Scheduler and Common Time Locator modules. The university has around 3000 students
enrolled at its Dubai Media City campus in schools of business, engineering, and
communication and information studies, as well as departments of information
technology, visual communication, and interior design.

"Our enrollment is increasing every academic year. We need robust software that is
still flexible and easily schedules classrooms, exams, and alternative meeting
times," states Matilda Jabbour, AUD Registrar. "We decided to sign with White
Mountain because their software is top-quality, and they have a strong regional
presence for technical support and after-sales service."

With UniversiTools Class Scheduler, the university registrar can automatically
generate schedules that allocate classes to rooms, taking into consideration the
array of variables and scheduling preferences on AUD campus.

UniversiTools Exam Scheduler runs 100% conflict-free exam timetables, while reducing
back-to-back exams for students on the same day. The university registrar can take
into account room capacity, professor preferences and other constraints related to
AUD's exam period.

UniversiTools Common Time Locator finds optimal shared free periods among students,
when a need for an alternative or make-up session is required.

Ghassan Abboud, White Mountain Managing Director, explains that the company develops
and customizes UniversiTools modules, so that universities can address their
specific pain-points. "If a problem cannot be solved with our existing modules,
we'll work closely with the registrar or other university administrator to develop
it."

UniversiTools software also has modules to manage the university career center,
alumni relations, grants and scholarships, and resource facilities.
