K12 education software for administrative workflows and student success
Follett Software serves K12 districts with integrated administrative platforms. The tech stack is heavily legacy-weighted (Oracle EBS, PL/SQL, Oracle SQL Developer) with Salesforce layered on top for CRM and CPQ, suggesting a mature on-premises business undergoing gradual modernization. Hiring velocity is accelerating across finance, sales, and support—not engineering—which indicates an organization focused on expanding GTM and account operations rather than core product velocity. Internal pain points cluster around sales forecasting accuracy and ERP modernization, revealing friction in both revenue operations and backend infrastructure.
