An international educational software company cooperated with Itransition to create an integrated student and learning management solution for the USA school system. This solution is based on the customer's educational platform that provides an integrated, seamless collection of applications and encourages collaboration and communication between students, educators and parents. The solution is an all-in-one place for registration, reporting, scheduling, data storing and management of the majority of school departments.
The customer needed a comprehensive, easy-to-use and efficient system that would enable teachers, school administrators and parents to optimize their time and focus on what is truly important.
The Customer has its own development team and wanted to outsource a part of the development to Itransition. Therefore, the Dedicated Team model was chosen.
The Customer is currently in the process of introducing the solution in a number of California school districts.
