History
The company has been dealing with educating the adult public for nearly 20 years. The headquarters can be found in Szeged, Hungary. One of the greatest motivations behind creating USIS.me was that one of the owners taught and researched in a university, where she was able to get to know and to experience both the hardships and the beauty, the possibilities and the challenges equally, of higher education. It is not an easy task to choose the course of continuing education for youngsters.

Problem
The problem pertains to three segments:

- The 20.000 relevant institutions cannot make visible their course offers for the potential market, their application process is complicated and complex.
- Students choose their higher studies mainly through local agents, offline. The agencies can develop cooperation with a limited amount of institutions, thus they cannot offer help and solutions, to a significant number of students who would like to apply through them. Also, the agents providing one-sided information may limit the opportunity available to students.
