SchoolTool Takes on New York: How We're Revolutionizing the Next Generation of Education Analytics

As a way to propel our analytics solutions forward, our SchoolTool and Mindex Cloud services teams visited the AWS Headquarters for 4 days in New York City to gather feedback from AWS engineers and data scientists! 

During this time, our developers focused on creating a proof of concept for the next generation of our SchoolTool advanced analytics solutions. We had the opportunity to work uninterrupted and with the guidance of AWS experts, who were incredibly helpful in answering any questions we had about our architecture framework or Amazon QuickSight. It was a fantastic experience that allowed us to check our analytics framework and fix any potential issues with the assistance of AWS engineers. 

We're excited to share that we left the data lab with a working prototype! This will set the foundation for the future of our amazing analytics platform and we couldn’t be more excited.

SchoolTool Advanced Analytics is coming soon!

Our advanced analytics solutions are coming this summer, just in time for the DATAG conference. Stay tuned! But if you can't wait until July, don't worry! Here's a sneak peek of what's to come.
