Infosilem Inc.

What Infosilem Inc. does

Infosilem Inc. is a Canadian higher-education scheduling software provider headquartered in Laval, Quebec (with related presence in Blainville), founded around 1989 and operating as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Berger-Levrault Group, a diversified European institutional software conglomerate. The company sells three integrated products under a shared platform: Infosilem Academic for course timetabling, Infosilem Campus for campus-wide space and event booking, and Infosilem Exams for final-exam scheduling. The platform is built on a proprietary optimization engine that automates the assignment of times, rooms, and exam slots subject to faculty preferences, student progression needs, room capacity, and institutional policy constraints, with real-time conflict detection and role-based collaborative workflow. Integration is delivered through APIs, CSV import/export, and native bidirectional connectors to Ellucian's Ethos Student Information System.

The company serves post-secondary institutions — primarily universities, colleges, polytechnics, and cégéps — across Canada, the United States, Qatar, and Ecuador, with named customers including the University of Toronto, Rutgers University, Western University, SAIT, Saskatchewan Polytechnic, Binghamton University, the University of Doha for Science and Technology, and the Universidad San Francisco de Quito. The University of Toronto partnership has been active since 2004, illustrating the long contract durations typical of the customer base. Go-to-market is a consultative enterprise field-sales motion supported by an inside sales team, with no self-service or marketplace channels; pricing is quote-based, structured as multi-year subscription licenses bundled with professional services for implementation, configuration, and training. Revenue mechanics are therefore enterprise subscription-recurring with high-touch services attached.

Operationally, Infosilem runs with 11-50 employees, multi-channel content marketing (Insights Hub, webinars, case studies, social), and parent-group leverage for contracting and data-protection compliance. No venture funding, no M&A activity, and no public-offering signals are present. The business model is best characterized as a niche vertical SaaS leader with deep domain specialization, embedded switching costs through long-tenured implementations, and modest but observable geographic and product-line expansion (notably the 2025 Infosilem Exams relaunch and Middle East/South America customer additions).

Core offering

Infosilem Inc. develops and sells sophisticated scheduling software for higher education institutions. Its unified platform comprises Infosilem Academic (course timetabling), Infosilem Campus (campus-wide event and space booking), and Infosilem Exams (final exam scheduling), all powered by proprietary optimization algorithms that automate time, room, and resource assignment while respecting student, faculty, and institutional constraints.

Product overview

Infosilem offers a suite of three integrated scheduling products designed for higher education institutions. Infosilem Academic serves as the core platform for course and academic scheduling, enabling institutions to create optimized course timetables that align with student needs, faculty preferences, and institutional policies. Infosilem Campus extends these capabilities to encompass all campus-wide scheduling and event management, centralizing bookings for all spaces including classrooms, labs, and event venues. Infosilem Exams is a specialized solution that automates exam scheduling to minimize conflicts for students and faculty. All three products share a common platform infrastructure with proprietary scheduling algorithms, role-based permissions, and API/web services integration capabilities, allowing them to function independently or as an integrated ecosystem.

Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves5 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Direct peers

• Ad Astra Information Systems: Direct competitor offering centralized scheduling and space management software for higher education institutions. Overlaps closely with Infosilem Academic and Campus products in target customer (registrars and academic schedulers) and feature set (course scheduling, room optimization, reporting).
• CollegeNet (25Live): Provides 25Live Scheduling and Series25 products for academic and event scheduling in higher education. Targets the same registrar and campus scheduling buyer as Infosilem with comparable course and room scheduling functionality.
• EMS Software (Accruent): Enterprise campus scheduling and space management platform used by universities for room booking, event management, and academic scheduling. Competes head-to-head with Infosilem Campus in higher education space management.

Emerging players

• Course Scheduler (CourseTune): Cloud-based course scheduling and demand analytics platform for higher education. Overlaps with Infosilem Academic on course scheduling optimization and section planning, but a more recent entrant with a narrower product surface.
• Maize (formerly Blue Ridge Academic Scheduling): Provides academic scheduling, demand analysis, and space management analytics for higher education. Comparable to Infosilem Academic and Exams in target use case and customer profile.
• Teach 'n Go: Cloud scheduling and student management platform aimed at language schools and smaller post-secondary institutions. Partial overlap with Infosilem Campus on bookings and resource scheduling, with a smaller-scale target customer.

Broad incumbents

• Workday Student: Modern cloud SIS that includes student records, academic progress, and increasingly scheduling-adjacent functionality. Represents a broad incumbent threat as universities consolidate onto Workday's platform and may deprioritize standalone scheduling tools.
• Ellucian: Largest SIS provider to higher education (Banner, Colleague, PowerCampus). Infosilem explicitly integrates with Ellucian Ethos, making Ellucian both a partner and a structural risk if Ellucian expands native scheduling features.
• Oracle PeopleSoft Campus Solutions: Long-standing SIS used by large universities that often includes basic scheduling and space management. Represents a bundled incumbent option that competes on cost and integration against Infosilem.

Regional players

• Bergmann's (formerly AUC) Academic Scheduling: Provides academic scheduling solutions primarily in European and DACH-region institutions. Functionally comparable to Infosilem Academic with overlap in automated timetable generation, but with primary geographic focus in Europe.
