Gladstone Education commits to supporting BioStore v2 product platform

May 2009

Gladstone Education, the leading provider of innovative software solutions to the education market, is pleased to announce that it has agreed a further long-term technology agreement with BioStore, the market specialist in the provision of Biometric technology for the education sector.
The strategic partnership agreement extends the current integration to include the provision of BioStore v2 solution support within the future releases of the OnRecord product suite.

Gladstone has successfully provided BioStore v1 integration since 2006 within its existing OnRecord product portfolio. In light of this proven integration, Gladstone Education has now chosen to embrace the BioStore v2 platform to provide secure and reliable authentication across the OnRecord product suite.

Gladstone's decision to integrate with the BioStore platform was due to its market penetration, technical infrastructure and wide range of third party support for other educational software applications.

Andy Cooke, Product Development Manager, Gladstone Education, commented:
"We are committed to providing the very best in identity integration software for the Education market. In addition to the existing identity methods in use by OnRecord, Gladstone is pleased to announce that our long standing and strategic relationship with BioStore will be a key element of our ongoing development roadmap, with full BioStore v2 support included as standard with the OnRecord 2009 product line".

Alasdair Darroch, Managing Director of BioStore added: "Biostore is delighted to have agreed further extension to its already well established relationship with Gladstone Education. Gladstone Education has earned our growing respect over the recent years. Gladstone's commitment to integrate with the BioStore v2 platform is testament to the strategic business relationship which has been built and nurtured between us over the last three years."
