About LINQ
For over 25 years, LINQ’s mission has been to empower the everyday heroes who make K-12 districts and schools stronger.

The Client's Challenge
Our client previously attempted to automate processes; however, they faced challenges as the various technologies such as desktop, web, and mobile were not properly integrated. Manual testing was taking around two weeks with 20 people involved and was estimated at 25 points worth of work, which became a challenge for their support team.
