eSchoolMall™, the leading provider of online procurement solutions for schools, announced that it has received the prestigious EdNET Pioneer Award. The EdNET Pioneer Award recognizes eSchoolMall’s significant contribution to the growth of the market for educational technology during the previous year.
This award recognizes eSchoolMall’s contribution towards the growth of the electronic procurement market in K-12, a market that did not exist prior to 1996. Through a rigorous nomination and evaluation process, the EdNET judges found that eSchoolMall has created a “niche offering, or category within the industry by developing a significant new product or service and is attracting buyers/adopters in a way that represents a new opportunity for others in the industry.” eSchoolMall has also changed the market size of a segment of the educational technology industry and has assisted in creating legislation affecting educational technology.
Andy Flanagan, Co-Founder and CEO of eSchoolMall, accepted the award of behalf of all eSchoolMall employees. “This is a particularly meaningful award,” stated Andy, “because it is a recognition of the hard work that eSchoolMall has put into this market since our founding in 1999.” eSchoolMall also recognizes and congratulates the other finalists for the EdNET Pioneer Award, Sun Academic Initiative from Sun Microsystems and Wireless Generation.
