EdAssist Launches Industry's First Sourcing Platform

EdAssist, the leading supplier of managed education software and services to corporate America, has announced the introduction of EdAssist Source, a suite of software tools to manage the communications and streamline payment between corporations and accredited learning providers.

"We've addressed the inefficiencies that exist in connecting the learning supply chain to corporate buyers," states Jeff Creighton, CEO of EdAssist. "Our corporate clients continually tell us that they want to better manage the education supply chain through their tuition assistance programs to bring greater value back to the enterprise. On the other side of the equation, colleges and universities seek more efficient ways to communicate with prospective students inside corporations."

The EdAssist Source platform helps corporations manage and source approved and preferred educational providers, and establish and maintain varying payment processes to vendors, from reimbursement to direct pay. For colleges and universities, EdAssist Source is a communications platform to the desktops of major corporations.

The foundation of EdAssist Source is the EdAssist Directory, a portal that contains thousands of accredited educational opportunities available to working adults in the evenings, weekends, or online. This resource is configured to support the unique learning requirements of each client.

EdAssist's managed education software platform is delivered as a Software as a Service application to some of America's largest corporations in the aerospace, communications, health care and financial services industries.
