Criteria for Selection
During the comparison of educational software companies, we’ve highlighted some important criteria for custom Edtech software development companies that want to succeed in this competitive market.
Finding the right company can feel like a hunt. Let’s explore some tactics. Search engine websites like Google and Bing are great starting points to unearth the companies you need. On the other hand, directories like Clutch, GoodFirms, and DesignRush act like organized filing cabinets for businesses, sorted by category. Many directories even include client reviews, offering valuable insights into a company’s real-world experience.
Industry Expertise and Capabilities
While researching custom educational software companies, we carefully examined their expertise. Companies that lack experience may generate more problems than they solve. It could also slow down the process and result in wrong estimates.
There are numerous types of Edtech solutions available to choose from for the development. Here are the most prominent ones:
- learning management systems;
- learning platforms and course marketplaces;
- student information systems;
- school management systems;
- corporate training and education platforms;
- language learning solutions;
- and many others.
While choosing the development partner, consider those with relevant experience in the same type of solutions you would like to create.
Case Studies and Success Stories
Top Edtech software development companies typically have specialized expertise and industry-specific solutions. Therefore, looking through a company’s case studies and success stories is essential. These reviews offer insights into the results of their development process and other critical information that can guide your decision.
When we were choosing vendors for this list, we carefully considered their experience in the Edtech industry and thoroughly looked for the case studies. This helped us to include the most relevant developers in our article.
Vendor’s Wide Geo Presence
Don’t underestimate the location and geo presence of your potential development partner. On one hand, it’s better to find a vendor that is close to your area because of cultural differences. On the other hand, clients from a wide range of countries speak about the wide geo presence of the company and show their ability to adapt to any client’s mindset and culture.
In this list, we’ve gathered vendors that have a wide geo presence. This can assure that you will most likely find a common language with your partner.
Clutch Rating
Clutch is one of the most reputable directories of software development vendors all over the world. Clients of these companies could leave the review about their collaboration and rate them for various criteria. This forms a Clutch rating of a company. Independency of these reviews is proven by Clutch itself, as its team contacts clients personally to verify the information. That’s why we considered the company’s rating as one of the factors while forming the list of vendors.
