THE EVOLUTION OF d6
A Strategic Merger
The story of d6 is one of growth and synergy. Our current position as a market leader was cemented through the strategic merger of Principal Software and d6 technology.
This merger combined Principal Software’s industry-leading School Administration and Finance System (SAMS) with d6 technology’s gold-standard Communication and Payment platforms. By bringing these two powerhouses under one roof, we created a comprehensive “all-in-one” school management ecosystem.
