CORAL is a centralized workflow management tool for licensing, usage statistics, cancellations, organizations, and resources that was developed at the University of Notre Dame after determining that purchasing an existing tool would not meet their needs. It was created by analyzing workflows, gathering requirements, identifying data elements, creating mockups, gathering feedback, coding, testing, and polishing before being released as open source software to help others more easily manage licensing and acquisitions processes.
