The awards offer 91 categories that are organized by industry focus of education technology and business technology.

DataSense was named as one of the 160 finalists across 29 education technology categories.

Winners will be announced during a virtual award ceremony on May 18. The top honor of best overall educational product will be presented at Education Industry Symposium, the nation's leading education technology conference, in Denver July 26.

DataSense is an iPaaS (Integration Platform as a Service) solution.

Compared to API connector companies, DataSense is unique in that it allows for bidirectional data flow as well as an unlimited number of data flows.

DataSense becomes a single, accessible hub for data integrations. The DataSense Command Center serves as a repository for all integrations containing both a single point process and a vast array of library component assets for the long term management of integrated data.

Russell Long, Authentica's CEO, said, "Our mission is to accelerate the flow of learning. We are extremely honored to be a Finalist in the SIIA CODiE Awards. DataSense has been implemented in hundreds of schools, providing them the ability to move their data when and where they need it."
