McHENRY, Ill., September 17, 2026 – Follett Software, a K–12 educational technology company, announced that IT Asset Manager has been named a winner in the Tech & Learning Awards of Excellence: Back to School 2026 in the Secondary Education category.
The Tech & Learning Awards of Excellence recognize products and solutions that demonstrate versatility, value, innovation and the ability to address real-world challenges across education. The Back to School awards highlight technology designed to support educators and learners as the new academic year begins.
IT Asset Manager is an AI-enabled platform built specifically for K–12 district IT teams. It brings asset management, help desk and day-to-day IT workflows together in one system, helping districts manage the full life of their devices, from purchase and checkout through repairs and retirement, while supporting the requests and operations that keep schools running.
“School IT teams are responsible for keeping devices, support requests and day-to-day operations moving across the district, often with limited time and visibility,” said Chris Porter, CEO of Follett Software. “IT Asset Manager brings that work together in one purpose-built K–12 system, helping teams spend less time tracking down information and more time supporting educators and students. We’re proud that Tech & Learning recognized the practical value of this approach for secondary education.”
Judged by a panel of experienced education technology experts, a Tech & Learning Award of Excellence recognizes products and solutions that support meaningful, effective and innovative teaching and learning experiences.
The Tech & Learning awards editorial team commented:
“The 2026 awards saw an impressive range of products and solutions designed to meet the evolving needs of today’s education sector. Our expert judges were particularly impressed by the quality, innovation and practical impact demonstrated by this year’s winners. Each winning product has shown its ability to support educators and learners in meaningful ways, and we’re delighted to recognise their achievements. Congratulations to all of this year’s well-deserved winners.”
“We’re thrilled to have IT Asset Manager recognized with a Tech & Learning Award of Excellence,” Porter said. “This award reinforces our commitment to building intuitive technology that helps K–12 teams manage the complex work behind the school day.”
