This acquisition solidifies TechnologyOne’s dominance in the Higher Education market, with 75% of institutions in Australia, and 50% in the UK supported by its solution.

Edward Chung, TechnologyOne CEO, said “This acquisition is part of our strategy to deliver a student-centric, end-to-end ERP SaaS solution for the Higher Education sector.
