Janison Reports $47M Revenue, $40M Pipeline, and Major Contract Wins

A Year of Strategic Growth and Transformation

Janison Education Group, a pioneer in education technology, has delivered a disciplined and transformative FY25, reporting a 9% increase in revenue to $47 million. This growth comes amid a global assessment market projected to more than double to USD $26 billion by 2032, driven by a shift from traditional paper-based testing to digital platforms.

The company’s Chair, Kathleen Bailey-Lord, highlighted Janison’s alignment with key market demands, proven scale in high-stakes delivery, regulatory-grade security, and responsible AI integration. These strengths underpin Janison’s confidence in capturing a growing share of the digital assessment sector.

Innovation at the Forefront, The Jai AI Platform

A pivotal milestone for Janison was the commercialisation of its AI-powered platform, Jai. Designed to enhance rather than replace educator expertise, Jai has already been adopted internally and by Chartered Accountants Australia and New Zealand, its inaugural customer. The platform has demonstrated a 70% reduction in assessment creation time, underscoring its transformative potential.

Jai’s launch exemplifies Janison’s commitment to human-centred, ethical innovation, a factor that differentiates it in a competitive market increasingly focused on AI’s responsible use in education.

Market Validation and Expanding Footprint

Janison’s strategic positioning is further validated by significant contract wins, including a five-year, $1.4 million deal with the Western Australian School Curriculum and Standards Authority to deliver the Online Literacy and Numeracy Assessment. This contract, secured through a competitive tender, marks a key expansion beyond its traditional New South Wales base.

Additionally, the company secured the New Zealand Ministry of Education as a platform customer, representing its largest offshore government engagement to date. Janison delivered over 7 million digital assessments across 117 countries in FY25, including the high-profile NAPLAN Online for 1.3 million students.

Leadership and Operational Resilience

Under CEO Sujata Stead’s leadership, Janison has assembled an experienced executive team bringing renewed discipline and pace across technology, growth, finance, and people. The Board also welcomed new members with deep expertise in technology and governance, reinforcing oversight during this growth phase.

Operational challenges during the NSW Selective High School testing were swiftly managed, demonstrating Janison’s commitment to delivery excellence and partnership strength. These learnings have been integrated into future planning to ensure reliability at scale.

Looking Ahead, Momentum and Strategic Execution

Entering FY26, Janison reports a robust sales pipeline now valued at $40 million, up over 80% since FY25, and Q1 trading aligned with internal expectations. The company’s 'Innovate, Reposition, Scale' strategy guides its focus on expanding partnerships, deepening AI integration, and driving operational excellence globally.

With a strong balance sheet, including $10.6 million cash on hand, Janison is well-positioned to invest prudently while scaling its platform capabilities and market reach, particularly across APAC, the UK, and Europe.
