Schools and districts using Exact Path, a diagnostic-driven, research-backed personalized learning platform, now have the unprecedented ability to measure evidence of impact and make real-time instructional decisions that drive results

BLOOMINGTON, Minn., Jan. 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Edmentum, the premier provider of K-12 learning acceleration solutions, today announced the launch of a first-of-its-kind data dashboard that shows school and district administrators the direct link between investment in the company’s Exact Path assessment and instructional interventions and academic growth for their students.

Exact Path is a diagnostic-driven online platform that provides personalized, skills-focused curriculum to students and powerful instructional tools to teachers spanning all of K-12 math, reading, and language arts. Further, the platform integrates with many of the most widely used formative and summative assessments giving districts the flexibility to use Exact Path’s award-winning assessments or stick with the assessments they already have in use, spending less time on testing and more on learning. The new dashboard, known as the Exact Path Impact Report, gives all school and district administrators who use Exact Path access to real-time data, specific to their own schools and classrooms, explicitly comparing student assessment outcomes with the learning they’ve been doing inside Exact Path.

“The Impact Report in Exact Path upends long-held beliefs about what’s possible—and what should be expected—when it comes to the data educators and administrators receive from their instructional technology,” said Jamie Candee, CEO of Edmentum. “Access to this data in real time transforms schools’ understanding of the relationship between personalized instruction and student growth in their classrooms, moving from correlation to true cause-and-effect. The report provides straightforward insights to understand what’s working, what’s not, and why, enabling strategic, timely adjustments as needed. I’m proud to say Edmentum can support the full cycle of leaders’ objectives for their learners, enabling them to set achievement goals and then predict, measure, drive, and demonstrate growth with Exact Path.”

Student learning in Exact Path is a scaffolded progression of skills aligned to individual needs. ESSA Tier 2 studies—which are widely respected for the strength of their evidence—show students who complete at least eight skills in Exact Path achieve remarkable academic growth, including gains of up to 19 percentile points on state assessments. This is consistent across assessments, student populations, geographic regions, and district sizes.

The new Impact Report enables all educators to see how Edmentum’s efficacy research results relate to their own data, in their own schools. By accessing the data immediately following two assessment windows, administrators have newfound agency to make adjustments to their Exact Path implementation and instructional decisions, including at the individual student level, to ensure students are set up to successfully reach growth goals. Edmentum developed the Impact Report in response to suggestions from school and district leaders eager for real-time data and insights that can inform instructional decision-making.

“The Impact Report in Exact Path offers an unprecedented level of data detail and transparency, setting it apart from any other assessment or instructional tool I’ve encountered,” said Dr. Jesús Jara, former superintendent of Clark County School District in Nevada, the nation’s fifth-largest district. “At the district leadership level, the ability to easily compare data across schools in one place revolutionizes how school organizations scale and sustain implementation—both of the platform itself and the best practices that have proven most effective within the district. Additionally, the access to district-level data, clearly demonstrating student growth driven by Exact Path, enables leaders to gain a deeper understanding of, and substantiate, the return of investment the tool delivers.”

The dashboard is now available to the 1,500 school and district partners currently using Exact Path, as well as all new customers.

Harness Delivers Unified AI Intelligence Across Software Delivery with Google Cloud

Harness integrates Google Cloud’s Developer Connect into its Software Delivery Knowledge Graph to give engineering teams smarter, faster AI-driven insights

SAN FRANCISCO, April 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Harness, the AI Software Delivery Platform™ company, today announced that it will bring together Harness’s Software Delivery Knowledge Graph and Google Cloud’s Developer Connect. The initiative gives joint customers a unified, AI-ready view of their entire software delivery lifecycle, and the intelligence to act on it with confidence.

The announcement was made at Google Cloud Next, where Harness also won the 2026 Google Cloud Technology Partner of the Year Award in the Application Development – DevOps category.

The Missing Piece in AI Software Delivery

Modern software delivery environments are inherently complex. Pipelines, services, build and deploy infrastructure, artifacts, and dependencies are deeply interconnected — and the data that describes how they relate to one another is scattered across dozens of tools. As organizations accelerate their adoption of AI-powered engineering, that fragmentation becomes a critical liability. AI is only as effective as the context it can access, and today, most AI agents are operating with an incomplete picture.

Harness is addressing this challenge head-on. By integrating Google Cloud Developer Connect insights into the Harness Software Delivery Knowledge Graph, joint customers gain a continuously updated, relationship-aware model of their software delivery environment that spans both platforms, bridging the visibility gap between development and production so that AI agents can operate with complete and reliable context. For engineering teams, this translates directly to making decisions grounded in situational awareness rather than generic training data, allowing them to execute complex workflows with greater accuracy.

Where the Partnership Comes to Life

For joint customers of Harness and Google Cloud, this integration means Harness AI can now make smarter, faster decisions on their behalf. By bringing together deployment event logs, runtime data, and application dependency information from Google Cloud into the Harness Software Delivery Knowledge Graph, teams gain a continuously updated, comprehensive view of their software delivery environment. When an issue arises, engineers can diagnose and remediate faster, trace problems back to specific source files or infrastructure, and link artifacts to the teams responsible for them, without having to manually piece together context from multiple systems.

The result is AI that works harder for customers. With richer context available upfront, AI agents can operate more efficiently, delivering answers and recommendations that reflect the true state of the environment. Everything teams need is in one place, and their AI has everything it needs to act on it confidently.

Security is central to how this integration was built. Data shared between Harness and Google Cloud is governed by enterprise-grade access controls, ensuring the right information reaches the right people within the guardrails organizations require.

“AI is only as powerful as the context behind it. Without it, teams fall into the AI Velocity Paradox: moving code faster than ever, but risking shipping software that is unverified, insecure, and unreliable,” said Jyoti Bansal, co-founder and CEO of Harness. “This is exactly what our expanded work with Google Cloud directly addresses, giving joint customers a unified view of their software delivery environment and AI that can actually reason across it. When context is complete, speed and confidence go hand in hand.”

A Collaboration That Keeps Deepening

This integration is the latest evolution of a long-standing collaboration between Harness and Google Cloud. Harness AI runs on Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform, and joint customers already benefit from expanded access through Google Cloud Marketplace. With this announcement, that work expands from the infrastructure layer into the application layer — and directly into how AI understands and acts on the software delivery environment. And it doesn’t stop there. The Harness MCP Server is now accessible within Google’s Gemini Enterprise app environment, enabling Gemini Enterprise customers to leverage Harness capabilities directly from their existing AI interface.

“Google Cloud provides cutting-edge technology that helps partners innovate and deliver more impactful solutions for business transformation,” said Ritika Suri, Managing Director, AI and Data Partnerships at Google Cloud. “Through our partnership with Harness, we will provide customers with innovative capabilities that can improve operations, enhance customer experiences, and drive innovation.”

Join Us

As our Knowledge Graph ecosystem continues to grow, Harness remains committed to expanding the breadth of integrations available to customers with the goal of being the most comprehensive AI-ready software delivery platform on the market.
