Tyler Acquires Edulink, Expanding Classroom Offerings

The move comes soon after the Texas-based gov tech giant bought a company that specializes in electronic warrant tools. Edulink launched in 1998 and counts PAETEP as one of its main products.

The Texas-based supplier of government technology says it has bought Edulink, a Pennsylvania company founded in 1998 that sells educator evaluation, compliance tracking and workflow automation tools.

Terms were not disclosed.

In a statement, Tyler said the acquisition “enhances” the company’s K-12 product offerings.

“Since our company’s founding, we’ve been committed to helping educators succeed by bringing efficiency and compliance to their administrative workflows,” said Edulink co-founder David Myers in the statement. “Now, as a part of Tyler, we can expand that commitment to educational institutions across the country.”

Edulink sells PAETEP and Comply, the company’s flagship products.

PAETEP “streamlines observations, goal setting and performance reviews,” according to the statement.

Comply, meanwhile, helps customers deal with professional development and the management of clearances, state mandates, field trip requests and other tasks vital to the daily operation of schools.

Edulink’s employees will become part of Tyler’s Municipal and Schools Division.

“Together, we’ll be able to deliver even more value, stability and innovation for the K-12 administrators we serve,” said Sean Marlow, president of Tyler’s Municipal and Schools Division, in the statement.

The purchase of Edulink comes just days after Tyler announced its acquisition of CloudGavel, a company whose technology focuses on electronic warrants.
