Custom LMS & CMS Integration

A county health department wanted to upgrade their existing legacy systems with new custom-built Web portal, eLearning environment, and LMS in the cloud. These new systems needed to be orchestrated in a way to enable easy and seamless management by their in-house team.

Vidyatech customized the open-source CMS the County’s IT team selected and integrated it with the other systems.

Unsupported Publishing System Takeover

A global software giant was using a proprietary online publishing system to update and publish articles to its proprietary online knowledge platform. The developers of the system were long gone. It was unable to keep up with the rapidly changing demands of online publishing trends, standards, and user expectations. Users worldwide were unhappy.

Vidyatech’s content technology experts took over the scantily documented system to initially maintain and then enhance the system’s capabilities. Negative sentiments of the users were gradually turned around to positive sentiments, so much so that instead of retiring the system in a year as originally planned, the customer continued to use the system maintained by Vidyatech for next eight years.

Modernizing Legacy CD-ROM-based CBT Titles

The customer had a highly interactive computer-based training (CBT) on spoken English. The CDs of the CBT were distributed in schools across the United States and Latin America. Though the course was effective, the format was obsolete and they were losing customers to newer Web-based interactive eLearning products. Moreover, it was getting difficult to recruit and retain skilled programmers in the legacy authoring system used for the product. Dependence on CD-ROM-based physical delivery and deployment was causing huge deployment and support cost in addition to delivering a sub-standard user experience. Vidyatech analyzed the CBT and architected a centrally managed web-based e-learning platform that provided learner management, eLearning course delivery, learning plan management, product license management, and detailed reporting. All CBT titles were modernized. Vidyatech also automated the process of developing and publishing interactive multimedia content for new titles. As a result, customer’s business, which was steadily falling, bounced back and they were able to sell off the business to one of the largest content publishers in the world.

Automatic Publishing of Over 150 Books in Record Time

The customer wanted to design an exclusive world class teaching product using inputs from the best teaching faculty available. However, it was a challenging and complex task to manage the entire process of creating hundreds of curriculum manuals and publish them simultaneously in print and online formats. A manual of consistent quality, with hundreds of pages, needed to be produced each day. Keeping the limitations of non-tech-savvy teachers in mind, Vidyatech designed a system of easy templates for the teachers which were classy and professional in design. Vidyatech’s PublishMagiqTM was customized for efficient content development and automatic publishing of books in a secure and encrypted format. The customer could easily repurpose the content and publish the manuals as online product as well. Vidyatech also designed and developed a custom browser for securing the online content. Overall, an improvement of 600% in productivity was reported by the customer.
