The future of education assessment is digital, and Janison Education Group is leading the global transformation. In this eye-opening conversation, CEO Sujata Stead reveals how this Australian tech pioneer has evolved from its humble beginnings in country NSW to delivering over 7 million assessments across 117 countries annually.
Janison's impressive growth trajectory continues with 9% revenue growth to $47 million in FY25, a healthy $11 million cash position, and zero debt. Their strategic focus balances foundational investments with disciplined execution, yielding both immediate returns and positioning for accelerated future growth. The company's $28.6 million pipeline spans government, professional accreditation, and higher education sectors, with significant concentration in the APAC and UK regions.
What truly sets Janison apart is their revolutionary AI-powered assessment authoring platform, Jai. This game-changing innovation has slashed item development costs by half while boosting productivity five-fold, with no compromise on quality. Early adopters report 70% faster development processes with over 90% acceptance rates of AI-generated items. As Stead explains, "Jai is a great example of how you keep humans still central to the assessment process... but you augment the process by using AI."
The company's credentials in large-scale assessment delivery are unmatched, from managing Australia's NAPLAN tests to their recent landmark contract with the New Zealand Ministry of Education. With a refreshed leadership team and board now in place, Janison is perfectly positioned to capture a significant share of the digital assessment market, projected to reach US$26 billion by 2032. For educators, institutions, and investors alike, Janison represents the cutting edge of how technology is revolutionizing how we measure and unlock human potential.
