Our business is the result of several acquisitions and in-house development of solutions throughout the years, and we have a solid track record in the educational market that traces back to the beginning of the century. The solutions presented below were integrated one by one in a thorough process, resulting in what is now a one-stop-partner provider to schools with an unmatchable market offering. Based on our extensive knowledge of private schools given Cogna’s history of owning schools’ operations, additions to Vasta’s platform have enforced cross-knowledge and improvements to take our solutions to the next level.4 From its latest annual report
