About Authentica Solutions

Authentica Solutions was founded on the premise of evolving the data integration challenge found with K-12 districts, departments of education, Higher Education institutions, and K-12 corporations where it is no longer an issue but an asset. Removing data integration as a barrier enables the district and schools to focus on the core reason the applications were purchased which in most cases is advancing student achievement.
