Community Source Initiative

7

“The Community Source Initiative (CSI) is a unique collaborative effort that harnesses the creative power

of the customer community that provides a nearly unlimited source of increased product functionality

targeted at immediate customer needs.

CSI is unlike anything available today in the commercial higher education market place.

CSI leverages the power of the open source process while providing the safety of a fully supported

commercial solution.”
