Leveling Up: We're Getting Our D-U-N-S Number to Move Ains Examination to Official Business Accounts

Hello from the Ainsoft Edge LTD team!

If you've been using our apps—especially Ains Examination Portal—you may have noticed the links point to accounts under personal/individual developer profiles:

• Microsoft Store: apps.microsoft.com/detail/9nnnk0x86xgq?cid=AinsExaminationPortal&mode=direct&hl=en-us&gl=NG
• Google Play: play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.companyname.ae (with utm_source from our site)

These started as quick, efficient ways to get the app into your hands while we focused on building great features for schools, exam management, and student portals across Nigeria.

But as we've grown (thanks to your trust and feedback!), we're taking an important next step to make everything more professional, reliable, and future-proof.

Why the Change?

Both Microsoft and Google now strongly encourage (and in many cases require) organization/business developer accounts for companies publishing apps—especially when serving real users like schools, educators, and businesses.

To switch from an individual account to a full business/organization account, one of the key requirements is obtaining a D-U-N-S® Number from Dun & Bradstreet. This is a free (or low-cost) unique 9-digit identifier that verifies legitimate businesses worldwide. It's like an official "business passport" used by major platforms to confirm your company details.

Once we have our D-U-N-S Number:

• We'll verify and upgrade our developer accounts to organization/business status on both Microsoft Partner Center and Google Play Console.
• This allows us to formally list the apps under Ainsoft Edge LTD (not a personal name).
• We'll then transfer the existing Ains Examination apps over smoothly—no downtime for users, no need to reinstall, and all your data/progress stays intact.

What This Means for You (Our Valued Users)

• More credibility & trust — Seeing the publisher as a registered Nigerian company (Ainsoft Edge LTD, Lagos) gives schools and organizations extra confidence when adopting our tools.
• Better long-term support — Business accounts unlock improved analytics, priority support channels, easier updates, and compliance with enterprise requirements.
• No action needed from you — The transfer is handled behind the scenes. Your app links will eventually update to the new publisher profile, but everything continues working as usual.
• Same great product — We're not changing features, pricing, or access. This is purely an administrative upgrade to support our growth.

Timeline & Next Steps

We're actively applying for our D-U-N-S Number right now (March 2026). The process usually takes a few weeks, depending on verification.

We'll keep you posted here on the blog:

• When we receive the D-U-N-S Number
• When the account upgrades and transfers are complete
• Any new links or minor changes to store pages

In the meantime, if you're using Ains Examination Portal (or any of our tools), thank you for being part of our journey. Your feedback drives us—feel free to reach out at support@ainssoft.com with questions, suggestions, or just to say hi.

We're excited about this step. It’s all about building a stronger, more professional foundation so we can keep delivering affordable, high-quality education and business software for Nigeria and beyond.

Stay tuned—bigger things ahead! 🚀
