Goal
The founder of ExamDesign Inc., a self-funded US-based startup, was looking for a technology partner to turn an innovative business idea into a cutting-edge product to be used for authoring certification exams.
We created a greenfield application with rapid iteration to MVP that the founder could onboard clients and set up a revenue stream with. As a start-up, we supported rapid turnaround on client-requested features and customisations, ensuring development was always supporting further revenue generation and growth in the user base.
ExamDeveloper has received a high degree of industry attention in all events and forums, leading to eventual product acquisition by Pearson VUE. Pearson VUE elected to retain us as the sole technical partner post-acquisition.
Highlights
- Architect and implement a lean, agile build-up to a very successful MVP
- Scale to an enterprise-grade SAAS that sets industry standards in the High Stakes exam authoring space, used by a majority of the medical boards in the US, and other leading certification bodies globally
- Support for industry best practices including JTA, customisable reviews and QTI
- Deploy, manage production systems and support a multi-tenant product, with client-specific customisations and custom licensing for client-hosted and cloud-hosted instances
- Provided technical consulting and support for the acquisition of ExamDesign by Pearson VUE
- Continuing product development and support, post-product acquisition by Pearson VUE and helped transition architecture from monolith to microservices, which kept a monthly release cadence
