Leading UK business-critical software provider, IRIS Software Group, is today announcing it has acquired Results Squared. The acquisition extends IRIS’ offering in the running of a modern education facility.

Results Squared will integrate with recently acquired financial management software provider, PS Financials, alongside education budgeting software, SAAF Software.

This is complemented with a parent engagement service, allowing schools to securely engage with parents to improve communication, support learning and develop the role of the school in the community.

Kevin Dady, CEO of IRIS Software Group, says, “I’m delighted to welcome Results Squared to IRIS Software Group to add further value to our PS Financials education market portfolio. This is another stepping stone in our strategic plan to grow the business and our mission to deliver outstanding service and innovation for our customers; further enhancing the value we create and providing a flawless service.”
