Sakai's academic background

Sakai has deep academic roots and, at the time of writing, is deployed or in pilot in more than 300 large organizations — mostly universities — around the world, with also a significant selection of K12, government, non-profit, and corporations. Volunteers have meticulously translated the application into an ever-increasing number of languages. In the worksite profile, the user can choose his or her language preference.
