From prototype to platform: learning tech services for scale and differentiation
End-to-end development of a digital learning experience technology, for any program stage, on any platform.
75+
LMS Platforms
Different LMS and LXP platforms we’ve built on across 350+ learning programs.
Experts in complex learning tech stacks
Our software engineers, product managers, and learning experience designers have over a decade of experience with multi-tenant learning tech stacks. SSO, LTI, CRM integrations, content authoring, analytics requirements, open source, custom analytics…all of these are old hat for us. Beyond helping you build capacity, we provide the technical expertise you need to build digital learning that scales while it differentiates.
Platform-agnostic approach
We will evaluate and recommend off-the-shelf, build custom, or suggest a hybrid approach to meet the needs of our partners and their learners, and we will work with your existing learning tech stack. We’ve built 20+ custom platforms, and we’ve configured and customized 75+ learning technologies, including leading LMS platforms.
Innovative and evidence-based approach to AI
We tailor our AI approach based on our clients’ unique circumstances. We don’t offer lift-and-shift agents or chatbots. Instead, our tech team advises on issues like content and architecture that enables AI now and in the future, designing AI applications that improve learning outcomes, integrating AI into content authoring, and AI-enabled search.

Crawl-walk-run: with you every step of the way
From the initial prototype to a full-scale platform, our tech team always plans for the next product phase. This forward-looking approach is what enables programs to seamlessly scale. Many of our client relationships span 7+ years, and we’ve supported programs from prototype to 25k+ learners.
Seamless integrations, rigorous testing, and data security are givens
We seamlessly integrate new learning experiences with your existing systems, including LTI 1.3/Advantage, Salesforce, and Okta/Auth0. Every experience is validated with real users before it reaches yours, through digital accessibility testing and general user testing.
How we build depends on what you already have
We start by understanding your platform, your user personas, and your technical constraints, then determine the right approach for your organization:
Custom development: purpose-built solutions from scratch
Within existing systems: build on top of your current platform
Integrations and APIs: connect and extend what you already have
Configured solutions: adapt proven tools to your context
Most of our work lives inside client platforms, so we’re well-practiced at treating your technology as a creative canvas rather than a constraint. And in practice, most projects span multiple points on this spectrum; these approaches aren’t mutually exclusive. For one client, we built a custom experience layer on top of their existing infrastructure with a headless architecture, custom frontend, and no rip-and-replace.
