Project Summary

Brainium Information Technologies developed a secure mobile messaging app for a school communications startup that connects educators, students, and parents. The vendor built Android and iOS apps from scratch, assisted with design, and implemented safeguards (no photo-sharing or emojis, historical logs, nightly shutdown). The app is live, has received positive social-media feedback, and Brainium continues to provide maintenance and support.
