TenMarks & Arbisoft
TenMarks, an Amazon company, provided solutions created and led by educators and technologists to personalize online Math practice while aligning it with Common Core and state standards. It provides Math practice and enrichment programs for first through twelfth graders using a structured approach of practice, on-demand hints, video lessons and real-time results. TenMarks Math is used by students in more than 85% of school districts in the U.S.
How we fit together
Arbisoft mainly provides software development and testing services to TenMarks. We played an instrumental role in the development of apps and infrastructure for TenMarks over 5 years—creating web, iOS, and Android apps for TenMarks designed for independent and classroom use, providing full support to parents and teachers, QA monitoring and continued development. The mobile apps have been downloaded over 100,000 times.
The applications serve more than 2 million users with more than 220 million server requests per week while maintaining server response times under 100 milliseconds and seamlessly rendering Math equations as well as accepting and grading their solutions. We’ve worked on almost every aspect of this software, from frontend to JVM optimization.
Making it matter
Just six months after we started working with TenMarks, it was acquired by Amazon. Although it started as a consumer application targeting teachers but its superior functionality, extensive Math support, and comprehensive content prompted school interest with school districts becoming its primary customers and rapidly deploying it across multiple schools. The application is trusted by more than 125,000 teachers throughout the USA and was also able to expand its subject offering.
Technology used
Our engineers used a plethora of technologies (including Spring, Hibernate, Javascript, MongoDB, AWS Cloud Services, RabbitMQ, Gradle, Spock/Junit, and RSpec) to implement website accessibility, iOS and Android apps, third-party integrations, and new features. One of our engineering teams also contributed to developing the custom CMS implementation using Scala, Play, and Spring.
