Atturra lands five-year Haileybury deal to roll out Scholarion SaaS platform
Independent school modernisation drives Atturra’s latest Scholarion win.
Atturra has signed a five-year agreement to deploy its Scholarion SaaS student information platform to Haileybury campuses across Australia and China.
Haileybury operates multiple physical and online campuses, with more than 4,800 students, and has contributed to the co-design of Scholarion. The platform is designed to be scalable and handle large, complex school environments.
“Haileybury’s scale and innovative approach make it the ideal environment for an enterprise-ready platform like Scholarion,” said Perry Abbott, GM products, Atturra.
By unifying student information, ERP, compliance and analytics into a single cloud platform, Scholarion replaces single, fragmented systems and provides operational intelligence across the school environment.
Built on Microsoft Dynamics 365, Scholarion brings together finance, HR, communications and analytics in a digital platform for school operations. Perry Abbott, GM products, Atturra, said automation, AI and financial-grade ERP bring school systems in line with enterprise capabilities.
“They’re features that traditional school systems simply do not provide,” he said.
Australian data residency and robust security are critical for maintaining trust and compliance in educational environments.
“They’re now mission critical,” he noted.
Handling complex, multi-campus migrations
To adopt the platform, Atturra must support schools to migrate from fragmented, legacy systems to the cloud-native platform. The migration process must address data quality issues and stakeholder changes across campuses.
Adding to the challenges, many schools haven’t updated their systems in years.
“We address these challenges by implementing phased rollouts, maintaining strong governance and adopting a migration strategy that minimises disruption while maximising value,” Abbott told CRN Australia.
Atturra eyeing growth in education sector
Abbott noted that there’s growing demand for education platforms that offer operational intelligence and consolidate student, financial and compliance systems. Schools are also facing rising expectations regarding data privacy, financial governance and reporting transparency.
While the contract is not material to Atturra’s FY26 guidance, the company described it as strategically significant due to Haileybury’s scale and complexity.
The deal is part of Atturra’s growth plans to deliver the platform across large multi-campus and independent school networks across the country. Existing agreements with Australian schools include Brisbane Grammar, Newington College and Brighton Grammar.
Scholarion integrates with Azure and the Microsoft Power Platform, enabling schools to align the platform with existing Microsoft identity and security frameworks.
In addition to licensing, Atturra has found that schools typically invest in implementation, data migration, change management, optimisation and ongoing managed services.
“It creates a strong, recurring services layer,” he ended.
