A leading eLearning education company provides an integrated collaboration and eLearning environment for educational institutions. Its clientele
includes The New York Times Company, SunGard Higher Education, MERLOT, Wimba, and The Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS).
The Business Challenges
The client’s existing legacy system was exposed to the increasing demand of a solution that could leverage the capabilities of web 2.0 tools. The
paradigm shift towards an environment that supports online learning, social and professional networking and collaboration coerced the application’s
