University Business Magazine awards Kivuto's Academic Software Platform a 2015 "Readers' Choice Top Product"

OTTAWA, Jan. 5, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Kivuto Solutions' Electronic License Management System (ELMS) platform for schools has been honoured by higher education leaders as a "Readers' Choice Top Product" by University Business magazine for its positive impact on students and campuses.

ELMS helps schools and global publishers – including Microsoft, Adobe, Pearson, and Nelson – deliver software and other digital resources to students, faculty and staff through a secure cloud-based platform, and often at discounted rates to improve access to educational tools. ELMS supports more than 60,000 academic institutions and departments and counting, with millions of transactions in more than 195 countries annually.

Students, faculty and staff from schools worldwide have benefited greatly from the variety of software titles available through Kivuto at a discounted rate. Kivuto's excellent service ensures that schools' software management, delivery and customer care needs are met.

University Business' "Readers' Choice Top Products" awards allows leaders in higher education to honour and inform their colleagues of products they use to advance their schools in the areas of technology, sustainability, teaching, and more. University Business previously recognized ELMS as a "Readers' Choice Top Product" in 2014.

"Our team and services are all centred on one goal: simplifying access to great education tools for schools and students," says Richard White, President of Kivuto. "We're proud to have our ELMS platform recognized by top higher education professionals through University Business for the second year in a row."

"It was inspiring to learn about the products being used in today's colleges and universities that are helping students succeed," says JD Solomon, the University Business editorial director. "All of our 2015 honorees should be very proud of their success."
