I feel good going to monash now 
Allocate+ was a dream compared to alloc8, what an epic failure 
Monash have invested a lot of money into their student management systems from what I've seen, having worked in the group that deals with a lot of systems you guys will interact with (WES, eParking, Allocate+). There is a big push towards systems integration at Monash, I might add. You may already see this via my.monash (with WES). The thought behind SI is that it provides a seamless user experience.
If you ever go to see a psychologist, careers counsellor (or events run by them), among others; chances are you'll be managed by a system that I designed while working at Monash. This system is, of course, integrated into the core student management system.
