A closer look

Your comparison questions.

Is Skybox the same kind of product as VNN?

They overlap, but scope differs. Compare the exact modules and workflows in each proposal rather than assuming either product includes every capability.

How should a school compare Skybox and VNN?

Use the same real schedule-change scenario in both demos, and verify the handoffs to opponents, coaches, assignors, transportation and families.
