Client overview

An education technology company provides a SaaS platform that gives district leaders one place to access data from 25+ systems. They can see attendance, assessments, and operations together in a secure hub for better decisions.

Goal-based views and impact tracking turn feeds into actionable insight. The platform aligns district goals, monitors progress, and flags interventions, helping teams move from anecdote to evidence while improving student outcomes, resource use, and accountability.

Challenges

Fragmented systems across school districts created gaps in data structure, access control, and reporting consistency needed for timely decision-making.

Legacy system limitations

The older system had an outdated stack and huge technical debt. It took minutes and sometimes hours to process all this data.

Fragmented data architecture

Over 50 disconnected systems across schools led to inconsistent data structure, broken workflows, and limited access to critical metrics at the district level.

Static reporting framework

The platform lacked flexible querying and custom views, preventing stakeholders from exploring real-time data or acting on emerging academic trends.

Solution

We architected a scalable education analytics platform built for real-time actionability with clean pipelines, automated delivery, and secure role-based access.

Modular cloud architecture

Rebuilt the legacy system with a modular, cloud-native architecture and centralized warehouse to enable fast, secure, and scalable data processing across distributed school systems. 

Real-time data pipelines

Implemented a real-time ETL pipeline to ingest and standardize data from 50+ tools, powering dashboards, automated alerts, and dynamic reports for district-wide visibility.

CI/CD deployment framework

Built a DevOps-led CI/CD pipeline with integrated testing, automated deployment, and rollback safeguards to ensure rapid delivery without risking uptime or platform integrity.

Unified data access layer

Established a secure access layer that governed user roles and data visibility, providing consistent, policy-driven access to district data without compromising privacy or compliance. 

Business impact

The solution improved reporting speed, reduced tech overhead, and gave district leaders the visibility they needed to make timely, data-informed decisions.

Faster data processing

Rebuilt architecture reduced data load and reporting times from hours to minutes, making key insights accessible to educators and administrators.

Lower infrastructure costs

Modular design and cloud-native deployment cut infrastructure costs by 70%, reducing system overhead and improving operational efficiency.

Secure system access

Implemented robust privacy controls and access governance, ensuring secure, scalable system use across thousands of schools and user roles.
