AvePoint Awarded $37 Million SGD to Deploy SaaS Training Management Platform for Six Institutions of Higher Learning in Singapore
10 November 2021 - 1:00AM
AvePoint, Inc. (NASDAQ: AVPT), the largest data management
solutions provider for Microsoft 365, today announced it has been
awarded a $37 million SGD contract from lead agency Temasek
Polytechnic to deploy an integrated SaaS training management
platform for career professionals. The platform will be powered by
AvePoint EduTech and available to six institutions of higher
learning (each, an IHL) in Singapore as part of the government’s
drive to build relevant future skills through Continuing Education
and Training (CET).
Available by 2023, the platform will give over
100,000 learners access to a catalogue of 44,000 courses designed
to teach them a variety of professional skills in both digital and
hybrid learning environments. Within the platform, learners,
educators, and administrators alike will have a comprehensive
digital learning experience that includes a streamlined admissions
and enrollment process, personalized course scheduling features,
and secure assessment delivery. In addition, the platform will
organize learner profiles to equip them with their graduation
status, certifications, and recommend new course offerings as
they embrace continuous professional learning in their careers.
“The platform we’re deploying for Singapore’s IHLs will
reimagine how both learners and educators experience training,
upskilling, and continuous learning, which is vital for success in
today’s evolving workforce,” said Dr. Tianyi Jiang (TJ), CEO and
Co-Founder, AvePoint. “Especially as Microsoft Cloud adoption
continues to accelerate globally, our directly integrated platform
is uniquely positioned to replace the fragmented digital learning
solutions that exist today.”
The new platform will be powered by AvePoint EduTech, one of the
first holistic SaaS learning experience platforms directly
integrated with Microsoft Cloud. Globally launched in February
2021, many premier IHLs in Singapore already leverage AvePoint
EduTech to facilitate impactful digital learning for students. Now,
professionals enrolling in courses through the IHLs of Temasek
Polytechnic, Republic Polytechnic, Institute of Technical
Education, Ngee Ann Polytechnic, Singapore Polytechnic and Nanyang
Polytechnic will also experience the benefits of AvePoint EduTech
technology.
“Our six IHLs are very much in the forefront of Singapore’s
SkillsFuture movement that places emphasis on lifelong learning and
skills mastery,” said Anita Kuan, Deputy Principal of Temasek
Polytechnic and Co-Chair of the Shared CET Training Management
System Project Steering Committee. “With this integrated AvePoint
EduTech and Microsoft Cloud technology, CET learners and
administrators will be able to leap digitally into a seamless
online training experience. This will help IHLs sharpen our focus
on delivering high quality training to meet the growing needs of
the economy.”
Today, nine out of ten Singapore workers see an urgent need to
upskill. By investing in a training management platform, Temasek
Polytechnic and the five additional IHLs cement their dedication to
providing quality continuous education as part of the overall
Singapore goal.
“We are proud and humbled by the creative ways our partners,
like AvePoint, adapt and build-on our technologies – allowing
learners, educators and school leaders to achieve more,” said Larry
Nelson, Regional General Manager, Education, Microsoft Asia.
“Technology enables educators to accelerate learning through
easy-to-access high-quality digital experiences in the classroom,
in the back-office empowering educational institutions, and
certainly by addressing the increased need for skills development
through life-long learning. We look forward to seeing the success
of the platform for professionals who are seeking to upskill
themselves in the digital economy.”
