Edupoint Synergy Wins 'SIS Innovation of the Year' in 7th Annual EdTech Breakthrough Awards Program
Prestigious International Awards Program Recognizes Outstanding Educational Technology Products and Companies MESA, Ariz., June 5, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Edupoint® Educational Systems, creator of the industry-leading Synergy® Education Platform, today announced that Synergy has been selected as the winner of the "SIS Innovation of the Year" award in the 7th annual EdTech Breakthrough Awards program conducted by EdTech Breakthrough, a leading market intelligence organization recognizing the top companies and solutions in the global educational technology market. Synergy Education Platform takes a Seamless-by-Design approach to student data management, featuring a single, centralized database that gives users real-time data systemwide, with access to all Synergy modules offered by their district in one place with one login. The Synergy Student Information Suite is built on the core SIS, which offers all the school and district administration capabilities districts expect, robust student performance administration with standards support, parent and student engagement tools, a suite of seven role-based mobile apps, a self-service kiosk app, and seamless third-party integrations including Ed-Fi, OneRoster®, and Google for Education™ productivity applications. Many highly sought-after tools are part of the core SIS functionality, such as automation and workflows, data validation, data trail and access auditing, a translation engine, hall pass management, a 360-degree student profile, and a secure emergency response system. Online registration, lottery and waitlisting, athletics management, and a powerful teacher portal and gradebook round out the Student Information Suite. Districts have the option of turning on generative AI features throughout Synergy Education Platform. This comprehensive functionality empowers teachers with a rich set of tools for managing classrooms and instructional resources, fosters student autonomy and safety, engages parents regardless of the language spoken at home, and helps schools and districts get the right information to the right people at the right time. Modules from the Teaching & Learning and Special Services suites – Assessment, MTSS, LMS, Analytics, Special Education, and 504 – can be added to the SIS suite, providing comprehensive learning management functionality with fewer software licenses, fewer vendors, and a single point of contact to get support for everything. In this way, districts can improve administrative processes and learning outcomes while reducing the total cost of ownership. "More than ever, real-time insights and holistic data are needed to drive improved outcomes in education through personalized learning," said Steve Johansson, managing director, EdTech Breakthrough.

Kaplan Wins 'Test Prep Innovation of the Year' Designation in EdTech Breakthrough Awards Program for its Groundbreaking Partnership with the State of Illinois
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Global educational services provider Kaplan's All Access License™ has been selected as the winner of the 'Test Prep Innovation of the Year' award in the 7 th annual EdTech Breakthrough Awards program, conducted by EdTech Breakthrough, a leading market intelligence organization that recognizes the top companies and solutions in the global educational technology market. Global educational services provider Kaplan's All Access License has been selected as the winner of the 'Test Prep Innovation of the Year' award in the 7th annual EdTech Breakthrough Awards program, conducted by EdTech Breakthrough. Kaplan specifically received this prestigious award this year for its innovative workforce development and higher education partnership with the State of Illinois, which provides free test prep courses to all students enrolled in Illinois' 12 public universities. Five Illinois community colleges are also included as part of a pilot program. More than 200,000 students now have free access to Kaplan's best-in-class preparation for graduate-level admissions exams and professional licensing exams, including comprehensive prep for the GRE ®, GMAT ®, LSAT ®, MCAT ®, NCLEX-RN ®, USMLE ®, Illinois State bar exam, real estate and securities exams, and more. They also have access to a suite of professional and academic skills development courses from Kaplan, including project management, data literacy, and critical thinking. To date, thousands of students have enrolled in one of more than 40 available Kaplan courses, collectively saving these aspiring professionals more than $10 million in out-of-pocket costs, which surpasses the original statewide investment. Kaplan was also the category winner in 2023 and 2024 for directly partnering with institutions of higher learning, including some of the most dynamic historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs), like Xavier University of Louisiana, Howard University, and Spelman College. By investing in a Kaplan All Access License™, state governments and colleges and universities can provide all of their students with access to Kaplan's industry-leading programs with zero out of pocket costs for students, helping them reach their career goals and reducing workforce shortagesin essential professions in the STEM, nursing, and teaching fields. Gregory Marino, CEO, Kaplan North America, said: "Kaplan is proud that our All Access License™ has again been honored as 'Test Prep Innovation of the Year' by EdTech Breakthrough. This recognition affirms our commitment to closing the opportunity gap and boosting economic mobility. By partnering with states and colleges and universities to offer universal test prep and workforce readiness programs, we're helping students achieve long-term career success and create a new generation of thriving professionals. As education leaders, we share a responsibility—and a real opportunity—to give as many students as possible an equal shot at success. And Kaplan's All Access License™ does just that.'

We know private test preparation is the best way to succeed when it comes to required high-stakes exams like the LSAT or other licensure exams. However, the expensive fees for test prep make its access unequal. In an era of resource constraints, the All Access License™ model from Kaplan simultaneously increases operational efficiencies while also increasing support for student excellence, resulting in immediate positive impact.' The mission of the EdTech Breakthrough Awards is to honor excellence and recognize innovation, hard work and success in a range of educational technology categories.
