OTAGO IT Services Ltd., an Asseco Group company, signed an agreement for the purchase of an organized part of the enterprise of Cracow-based Silvermedia. The deal covers a range of innovative education management products and provides for taking over a team of specialists working in this area.

 

OTAGO is a company responsible for coordination of the Asseco Group operations within the local government market. The acquired Education Platform is complementary to the municipal management system offered by OTAGO, enabling the company to build a comprehensive software solution which is unique countrywide.

 

"Thanks to expanding the OTAGO's product portfolio, our idea to develop one central municipal management system became reality. Today we are the only company in Poland able to support all the areas of municipal operations both in terms of software and widely understood IT infrastructure. We also owe it to our cooperation with other Asseco Group companies (such as Combidata) and the Asseco Poland's Infrastructure Division" – said Jarosław Jastrzębski, President of OTAGO.

 

At present the Education Platform serves to over 2 million pupils at 4,500 schools in more than 20 cities. The suite includes applications to support such functions as the recruitment of pupils at different school levels (including pre-school recruitment), electronic journals, pupil information management, analysis of attendance, inventory of equipment, issuance of school reports and student cards, calculation and payment of scholarships, communication between schools and parents or administration bodies, as well as the organizational management at educational institutions.

 

In addition to a wide range of functionalities, the users reap the benefits of three-tier technology enabling them to access the solution via a web browser. Another genuine advantage of the Education Platform is its centralized architecture allowing for simplification and shortening of the system administration procedures.

 

The Education Platform provides a lot of technological flexibility. The solution may be installed at the client's on-premise infrastructure or at the OTAGO's data processing centre to be then made available as a cloud-based service. Owing to the above-mentioned features, the solution marketed by OTAGO is stable, comprehensive, and most importantly much less expensive to operate than distributed systems environments.
 

OTAGO IT Services Ltd. (ZUI OTAGO Sp. z o.o.) is headquartered in Gdańsk, at 11 Heweliusza St. The company employs almost 90 people in the cities of Gdańsk, Łódź, Cracow, and Katowice. For twenty years, OTAGO has been engaged solely in the development and implementation of software solutions to support the work of local administration. The company is the creator and owner of the OTAGO Integrated Municipal Management System. Among the company's clients are both large Polish cities such as Warsaw, Gdańsk, Cracow, Łódź, Wrocław, Szczecin and Bydgoszcz, and medium-sized cities such as Zabrze, Toruń, Ruda Śląska, Rzeszów, Nowy Dwór Mazowiecki, Starogard Gdański, Piaseczno, Skierniewice, and Łowicz.
