Project Summary

Aristek Systems supported a curriculum and development solution for a US education company, reworking UX/UI, adding SSO and LMS LTI capabilities, and building integrations with state departments. The vendor implemented automated onboarding, content integrations (IMS LTI protocols), an order-processing system with X12 and custom APIs, and a scalable responsive platform (SPA/PWA) supporting millions of users. The solution met client requirements quickly and contributed to significant market growth: approximately a 45% market share in the first year and rollout to all 50 states; the company was later acquired in 2018.

Transforming a product that was not built to scale
Replacing manual client onboarding with automated onboarding

Project Solution

Aristek provided full lifecycle development and product engineering to transform a non-scalable startup product into a horizontally scalable education platform. Work included automated onboarding, SSO implementations (MS SAML, LTI, LDAP), IMS LTI content integrations (ThinCC, QTI, Grade Pass Back, Deep Linking), creation of an order system processing X12 and custom APIs for state integrations, and building a responsive SPA/PWA product platform with online/offline capabilities and 3D/AR content support. The vendor followed a structured Agile process with business analysis, wireframes, Jira-managed epics/user stories, code standards, code review, CI/CD delivery, and automated/manual/regression QA with vulnerability testing.
