ReadyTech advances Higher Education market penetration

Tuesday, 30 July 2024 – ReadyTech (ASX:RDY) is proud to announce significant progress in the higher education sector, recently securing three prominent customer wins with Avondale University, University of Adelaide Professional and Continuing Education (PACE) and English Language Centre (ELC), and a large TEQSA-accredited membership-based organisation that delivers post-graduate courses to its members and the public.

These cornerstone higher education wins are a clear demonstration of ReadyTech’s deep investment, extensive experience, and true partnership model in advancing technology to support tertiary education institutions across Australia. In particular, the partnership with Avondale University marks a significant milestone as  ReadyTech's first institution-wide university contract for student management.

With these wins, ReadyTech is now able to tap into a substantially broadened addressable market that includes higher education institutions and universities, supporting significant long-term growth.

"We are experiencing substantial tailwinds in the higher education sector driven by a growing demand for cloud solutions, innovative learning models, and a digital-first student experience." Marc Washbourne, ReadyTech’s Co-Founder & CEO said.

“Institutions are increasingly embracing these advancements to meet the evolving expectations of modern students, ensuring they are equipped with the skills and flexibility needed to thrive in a dynamic world." Washbourne said.

Commenting on the recent customer wins, ReadyTech’s General Manager of Education, Trevor Fairweather said:

“We understand the unique challenges faced by education providers and are ready to deliver solutions that not only drive operational success and long-term growth but meet the needs of tomorrow's modern student.”

“This commitment to customer intimacy coupled with our continuous investment and innovation have made us the top choice for higher education providers seeking to supercharge their success.” Fairweather said.

In addition to these customer wins, ReadyTech has also successfully completed the acquisition of Silverband, an Australian EdTech company that is home to the Paradigm Education Management System. The Paradigm product currently services a large number of higher education  providers across Australia, and with their deep domain expertise, will support the acceleration of ReadyTech’s higher education roadmap.

Commenting on the acquisition, Trevor Fairweather said:

“The Silverband team has deep domain expertise and an impressive reputation for customer service in the higher education sector. We look forward to welcoming the Silverband team to ReadyTech, and working together to support more higher education providers around Australia now and into the future.”
