Create a Custom Cloud Solution for College Textbook and Materials Adoption Service

A web application which can help instructors adopt course which they will be teaching on a central system that helps client manage the data for Books and Non text materials.

Client Goal

The largest retail bookseller in the USA, with 658 retail stores, and 714 college bookstores serving over 5 million students needed to create a system to let students and faculty members adopt books, and materials. The current system they were using was a manual spreadsheet adoption process that introduced many delays in collections and ordering, which led to lower overall profits.

Business Solution

We created a Custom Cloud Solution for books, non-text materials and new titles to be easily adopted by the Instructors and Faculty for enrolled students in each session.

Value Delivered

By creating a more streamlined, cloud-based adoption system, our client was able to:

• Increase online book and material adoption from less than 5% to 40% in 2 years.
• Provide students with more variety in textbook options – Digital, New, Used, Rental
• Provide over 160,000 system users, 3 million books and digital materials to adopt.
