Our Values
The TransAct team is united in its passion and enthusiasm for the education industry, and for ensuring our customers gain true value from our software so they can better serve their students, families, and communities.
Each day we strive to “live” our values: stewardship; service before self; personal responsibility; and promises made, promises kept. We think in terms of “we” instead of “me,” and believe that it’s all about putting others first. We value vision and work together to achieve that vision, even if we’re not quite “there” yet today. We work hard, but we have a lot of fun together in the process. And we’re never done learning—we’re always seeking out new opportunities to expand our skills and grow.
If these values resonate with you, we hope you will consider joining us!
