ANN ARBOR, Mich.--December 18, 2025-- InfoReady Corp, the leading platform for managing internal funding competitions, awards, fellowships, and academic processes, capped off a strong year in 2025 with multiple national recognitions, sustained customer growth, and a notable expansion into all 50 U.S. states.
Throughout 2025, colleges and universities navigated a dynamic funding and policy environment that influenced the timing of major technology investments across the sector. While purchasing decisions slowed earlier in the year, institutions remained focused on simplifying their administrative infrastructure and strengthening their digital transformation. By fall 2025, as budget outlooks and priorities became clearer, momentum accelerated. Institutions renewed investments in systems that deliver efficiency, transparency, and accountability for managing complex academic programs, driving a strong rebound in sales activity and positioning InfoReady for continued growth.
“In a year when institutions were under real pressure to adapt quickly and responsibly, our clients leaned into better systems and smarter processes,” said Bhushan Kulkarni, CEO of InfoReady Corp. “Our focus remained steadfast to help universities manage critical programs with transparency, consistency, and confidence even when conditions are uncertain.”
National Recognition for Growth and Leadership
InfoReady earned several notable honors in 2025, recognizing both company performance and organizational culture:
- 2025 Inc. 5000 Honoree, recognizing sustained revenue growth and operational strength
- 2025 FastTrack Award Winner, highlighting high-growth, high-impact companies
- Leadership & Innovation Recognition Awards for EdTech Cool Tools and Top CEO to Watch (2025) for advancing administrative technology in higher education
- Best Places to Work (2025), reflecting InfoReady’s people-first culture and commitment to employee engagement
“These awards aren’t about chasing headlines,” said Eric Jacobson, President of InfoReady Corp. “They reflect consistent execution in building a stable company, supporting a talented team, and delivering real value to institutions that rely on us every day.”
Supporting Institutions Through Change
As policy discussions and funding models continued to evolve in 2025, colleges and universities faced increased scrutiny around internal processes, compliance and program funding allocations. InfoReady worked closely with administrators across graduate schools, research offices, provost offices, and academic units to help them adapt without disruption.
The platform supported institutions newly designated as R1 research universities, as well as campuses seeking to modernize internal funding, awards, and nomination programs in response to growing administrative complexity. Kulkarni added. “Our role is to provide steady infrastructure that helps institutions stay focused on their mission, regardless of external conditions.”
A Truly Nationwide Footprint
In December 2025, InfoReady reached a significant milestone: welcoming new clients, University of Delaware and the University of Wisconsin–Madison, achieving the distinct honor of serving client institutions in all 50 U.S. states. “That milestone matters because it reflects trust,” Jacobson said. “Institutions across every region are choosing InfoReady not because it’s trendy, but because it works.”
Looking Ahead
As higher education continues to balance accountability, efficiency, and access amid ongoing uncertainty, InfoReady enters 2026 focused on product innovation, customer success, and long-term partnership with institutions nationwide. “We don’t pretend the environment is simple,” Kulkarni said. “But we’re optimistic. When universities invest in better systems, they free people to focus on what actually matters—students, faculty, and discovery.”
