July 10, 2007

STEVENS POINT, WI – Skyward (www.skyward.com), the industry-leading K-12 school district administrative software company, is pleased to announce its expansion into another office facility in Stevens Point, Wisconsin. Skyward has experienced 20% annual growth over the past six years which necessitated the purchase of additional office space.

Skyward has purchased and remodeled the old Qualex Building, which has been vacant since 2003. The new facility now has 12,000 square feet of office space available for immediate use and an additional 12,000 square feet available to accommodate future growth.

Since January of 2007, Skyward has created 42 new jobs, 25 of these new jobs are located in Stevens Point Wisconsin. Based on an expected growth rate of 20%, Skyward forecasts the creation of over 200 new positions over the next 3 years. The majority of those positions will be created at the Stevens Point offices.

Skyward will relocate their corporate Human Resources, Finance, and Administration departments to this new facility. In addition, the Wisconsin Branch of the Customer Service department which supports the 79% of Wisconsin school districts that use Skyward’s software will be relocated.

The relocation of these operations to the new facility will open up additional space in the existing 60,000 square foot headquarters located in the Stevens Point Industrial Park. This will allow for future growth in order to meet the ever increasing demand for Skyward’s K-12 Administrative software.
