RANCHO CORDOVA, CALIFORNIA — (Marketwire) — 12/12/12 — KEV, the North American leader in the management and accounting of school activity funds and online payments, and Pearson (NYSE: PSO), the providers of industry-leading student information systems such as PowerSchool SMS and PowerSchool, are pleased to announce that KEV Group has joined Pearson-s Independent Software Vendor (ISV) program as a commitment to provide new convenience and efficiencies to the K-12 education sector.
KEV Group-s unique and revolutionary fully integrated School Cash Suite of products has been developed over the past 16 years to manage all aspects of every dollar that comes into schools. Whether cash, check, or an online transaction, KEV-s products help reduce fraud and significantly decrease the workload at schools. Products such as School Cash Online, KEV-s online payment portal and School Cash Register, KEV-s point of sale system in particular, will integrate with PowerSchool and PowerSchool SMS so that school generated funds can be assigned seamlessly to students, and provide for student-level accountability. Limiting cash in the school system and increasing transparency of the cash that does come in, decreases the risk of bullying, reduces classroom distractions and ensures maximum efficiency for all users.
“At Pearson, we-re pleased to welcome KEV Group to our growing ISV Partner program,” says Steve Curtis, Chief Strategy and Innovation Officer. “Companies like KEV Group are complementary to our mission of supporting schools digital transformation and will help improve communication between school and home.”

Over the past few years, our online payment system has been adopted by thousands of schools allowing families to pay online for yearbooks, class trips, lunches, donations, adult education and so much more. One integrated payment and accounting solution helps provide convenience to families and audit tracking and fraud prevention for schools and Districts.” says Bram Belzberg, Chairman & CEO of KEV Group. “Integration with leading student information systems such as PowerSchool provides for an even better experience for our users. Our partnership with Pearson demonstrates KEV-s continued commitment to decreasing the workload of school and District staff. Now, Pearson customers will be able to take advantage of the unique benefits of KEV-s product Suite and the efficiencies that this partnership creates.
