Challenges
ClassWall required a team that could not only implement the idea but also helps refine it and suggest features as the product was developed.
Solutions
Knoldus worked with the team at ClassWall to build a roadmap to create an MVP that could be taken to educational institutes and investors.
Results
ClassWall was able to garner investor interest and successfully validate the idea in production. Knoldus continues to be their engineering arm for the product as we get to the bigger league, which would have larger scalability and concurrency concerns.
Challenges
ClassWall started with a dream to create a product that would change the way knowledge is disseminated and consumed in the higher education space. ClassWall required a team that could not only implement the idea but also helps refine it and suggest features as the product was developed.
Solution
Knoldus worked with the team at ClassWall to build a roadmap to create an MVP that could be taken to educational institutes and investors. Mostly all features were built for responsiveness and availability. Clustering and load balancing was incorporated to take care of exam time traffic. The features were released on a sprint-to-sprint basis and tested on the battleground with two pilot universities in California.
Results
Currently, the product is being heavily used in the beta sites and is under private beta. ClassWall was able to garner investor interest and successfully validate the idea in production. Knoldus continues to be their engineering arm for the product as we get to the bigger league, which would have larger scalability and concurrency concerns.
