Recognition highlights Triangle-based tech company’s dedication to product innovation and the customers it serves
RALEIGH, N.C., Sept. 29, 2026 – Entrinsik, a leader in business intelligence and enrollment management solutions, has been named a finalist for Tech Company of the Year in the 2026 NC TECH Awards. The NC TECH Awards is North Carolina’s annual statewide program recognizing innovation, growth and leadership in the tech sector.
We are honored to be named a finalist in the 2026 NC TECH Awards Tech Company of the Year category,” said Brad Leupen, chief executive officer of Entrinsik. “Our focus is entirely on where technology is headed next, driven by the most significant platform advances we’ve ever delivered. This recognition reflects our forward momentum, and it’s an honor to celebrate beside the innovators shaping what comes next for our state.
Entrinsik’s submission highlighted its two platforms. Informer, its flagship platform, pairs governed analytics with a deep understanding of real-world operational challenges. It connects to diverse data sources, aligns with data governance requirements, and gives technical and non-technical users secure access to their data. Enrole, Entrinsik’s online registration and ecommerce platform, is purpose-built for continuing education, workforce development and lifelong learning programs.
Customer results span both platforms. California Lutheran University launched a campus-wide AI Assistant built on Informer that earned a 96% portal satisfaction rating, cut Financial Aid follow-up issues by 70% and reduced unpaid graduation fees by 75%. Edison State Community College built its entire federal loan disbursement workflow in Informer, reducing processing from 120 staff hours to 1 hour per cycle and avoiding $60,000 in third-party compliance software costs. Wake Technical Community College, North Carolina’s largest community college, replaced manual processes with Enrole’s self-service enrollment platform and has processed more than 15,000 registrations since go live.
In the past 12 months, Entrinsik has won four industry awards: the 2026 Ellucian Partner Award for Innovation Excellence, the 2026 Ellucian Experience Idol Award for Best Student Impact, the 2026 Data Breakthrough Award for Data Solution of the Year for Education, and the 2026 EdTech Breakthrough Award for Enrollment Management Solution of the Year. Entrinsik was also a finalist in the AI, ML + Data Innovation category of the 2025 NC TECH Awards.
Entrinsik is also committed to its community, locally in the Triangle and across the country. Through its “Replacing Giveaways with Givebacks” program, the company supports Feeding America and volunteers regularly with the Food Bank of Central & Eastern North Carolina.
This recognition highlights Entrinsik’s momentum following the rollout of Informer Apps and Informer GO—two platforms bringing secure AI functionality to enterprise data. With Informer Apps, users simply state a business challenge to receive a tailored, launch-ready application. Informer GO complements this with an all-in-one desktop and mobile workspace for creating, discovering, and deploying data-connected Apps and reports.
Informer Apps and Informer GO build on the governed data foundation our customers already rely on in Informer,” said Madhavi W. Chandra, chief product and strategy officer at Entrinsik. “Our focus is giving organizations new ways to put their secured data to work, and we’re grateful to NC TECH for recognizing the innovation happening here in the Triangle.
Winners will be announced at the NC TECH Awards Celebration on Monday, November 16, at the Sheraton Imperial Hotel and Conference Center in Durham.
