TechOne founder and executive chairman Adrian Di Marco said the deal is its first international acquisition, bolstering both its UK operations and its higher education offerings.
“The unique IP and market leading functionality of Syllabus Plus supports our vision of delivering enterprise software that is incredibly easy to use and that substantially enhances our customers’ experience in the higher education sector,” Di Marco said.
“We are excited about the opportunities this will bring to both our UK and Australian customers in the coming years.”
TechOne chief executive Edward Chung said acquiring Scientia forms part of TechOne’s strategic focus to deliver the deepest functionality for higher education.
