What Paragin Group does

Paragin Group is a Dutch EdTech SaaS provider founded in 2000, headquartered in Nijkerk, Netherlands, that builds assessment, learning, and skills-development software for educational institutions, corporations, and government bodies. The company operates a portfolio of eight interconnected products — Remindo (assessment and exam platform), Sowiso (STEM learning and testing with the AI-powered Solution Bot), OMPT (mathematics proficiency testing), Coachview (course administration), OnTrac (exam logistics), OnStage (internship and graduation processes), GradeWork (submission and assessment), and Skillsly (skills management) — covering the full lifecycle from question development through to graduation supervision. The platform runs on ISO 27001-certified infrastructure (held continuously since 2015), with all data stored within the European Economic Area, supports federated authentication (SAML, OAuth2, SURFconext, Microsoft Entra), integrates via the OOAPI open standard with student information systems and LMSs, and offers a 99.5%+ uptime SLA.

The business runs a recurring B2B SaaS subscription model with annual contracts sold through a dedicated direct sales team (led by Head of Sales Henri Jager), individual product websites, and integration partnerships with publishers and institutions. Customers include 1,250+ organizations across 19–20 countries on five continents, with more than 4 million users and over 11 million tests delivered in 2025. Primary verticals are Dutch vocational schools (MBO), colleges, and universities, with secondary segments in corporations and municipalities/public sector. The group has expanded via three acquisitions (SOWISO/OMPT in 2022, Innophase/Coachview in 2023, Xebic Onderwijs in 2024) and in February 2026 received a private equity investment from ECI Partners to accelerate international SaaS scaling.
