Solution

RoleModel Software sat down with Lumerit’s education experts and collaboratively identified options to enhance business practices and provide the right solution. Using agile development practices, RoleModel communicated daily with Lumerit delivering value early and often. On the second day of development, RoleModel deployed a fully functional prototype of a basic process in Lumerit’s workflow, showing all the calculations for one degree. This allowed Lumerit’s team to give early feedback. Daily collaboration let the Lumerit team test functionality quicker, find issues faster, make changes more quickly, and discover new features needed. 

When Lumerit Education was acquired by Pearson, Pearson made the strategic decision to expand the system’s capabilities by adding features and improving functionality. Central Registrars Director Jared Brandau championed the process of collaboratively translating high level education expertise into software automation and user-guided workflows. Pearson’s experts are now able to spend less time on administrative tasks, and their academic advisors are able to be more effective with less assistance. The system now offers features like: a college search by radius, enhanced ease-of-use, high level cost filter/sorting capabilities, and a user-guided mode. With every iteration of development, Pearson was able to see their vision come to life.
