Mimosa is much more than a scheduling tool. With it, you control the scheduling process, and Mimosa makes sure you get all the relevant information you need to get everything just right. All the steps in scheduling are easy to undo and redo, and it is a snap go back to any previous or bookmarked step. Letting Mimosa do the multidimensional thinking for you makes scheduling much more pleasant, but it also ensures that you are aware of any useful new alternatives that may help you in solving your timetabling puzzle.

Today we have Mimosa users in schools, universities, and businesses in over 70 countries and on all continents:

Creating and maintaining timetables is often a complex task for both people and software. The technical side of Mimosa is kept as simple and as self-contained as possible. The technology is based on a collection of efficient optimisation algorithms. Thanks to these, Mimosa handles scheduling difficulties smoothly and reliably, all the while giving you the kind of assistance that you need.

Mimosa was designed to simplify the way in which courses – in addition to exams or any other events, rooms, equipment as well as other resources – can be scheduled. It is a comprehensive commercial product that can have various purposes for the benefit of a wide range of personnel. Modern and flexible, Mimosa is an excellent choice for any institutions and companies that find their current solution outdated or restricted in meeting their scheduling demands.

Once you start to enter scheduling information into Mimosa, you will soon notice how a seemingly complicated task begins to unfold with ease. You do not necessarily need a pencil or paper while you work. All the information is now at your fingertips, and you can forget all those pitfalls and problems you previously faced. Jumping from one view to another is simple. You can choose to view your information from an angle of your choice, find, sort, browse, and schedule first, then add any of the missing resources.

The tool makes scheduling a flexible task, all the while steering you clear of errors. If you choose not to schedule your timetables manually and without using the optimisation tools, the revolutionary possibility to undo and redo actions up to 2,000 times makes scheduling just that much more enjoyable.

A chance to have your say. We are approachable. You can contact us anytime if you have ideas for the improvement of certain features in Mimosa, or suggestions for new features to be added. We will try our best to fulfil your needs and requirements, if they are technically possible and in the scope of Mimosa.

Flexibility. Mimosa is designed to meet a wide range of scheduling needs. It works equally well for schools, universities, colleges and other academic institutions, as well as different organisations and companies. You can easily set up the application for your special scheduling needs, or make use of the default templates and sample files. You can define the needed resource types and calendar schema according to your special requirements. It is also easy to set bookings to slots and terms, lock selected courses or events, and block terms to prevent unwanted scheduling results.

Openness. Mimosa lets you copy information easily to and from other applications with the help of your computer's Clipboard and text file conversion tools. If you wish to create your own reports and layouts from the information in Mimosa, just copy it to your spreadsheet for editing. It is easy to add your own notes and information for administrative needs, - and also hide these from published reports. With Mimosa, you are not locked inside other applications.

Adjustability. The same version of Mimosa runs on all versions of Microsoft Windows, from Windows 98 to Windows 8, and it is also currently used by many of our clients on Mac OS and Linux, with the help of the most popular emulators. Adjustability also entails that you can change the fonts and colours and change the appearance of the web reports according to your preferences.

An outstanding capacity. With Mimosa, you can manage up to 300,000 timetables, 30 slots in a day of a 7-day week, 255 terms or weeks, and over 8000 entries in a single small file. No third-party databases or additional software need to be used with Mimosa. This guarantees maximum performance, reliability, and easy maintenance - combined with a low one-time price.

A program that is fast and lightweight. It takes up only a couple of megabytes of the computer's memory and disk capacity. All actions are instant, even when you are working with a large amount of information. Instead of external databases, Mimosa relies on its own efficient engine that is based on fast integer arithmetic calculations and it performs demanding scheduling tasks quickly and reliably.

Mimosa is developed with a sturdy professional approach. Our quest for high quality drives us to make sure that you can carry out all your tasks with efficiency and ease, even when there is a large number of menu options to choose from. You can find the timetable optimisation tools easily and use them to create a good starting point for all your scheduling work, fill the gaps in any previous schedules, or get suggestions on how to improve students’ course selections. For several years, thousands of institutions all over the world have used Mimosa to schedule their timetables. Working in close cooperation with our clients has helped us develop Mimosa into what it is today – a rich and robust toolbox for even the most demanding scheduling needs.
