Avant Assessment

Taking-on platform sprawl to keep an industry leader on top

BEFORE

Online language testing leader Avant had grown its platform offerings quickly, but not strategically

Its fragmented network of products had become hard to manage and clunky to use

Infrastructure inconsistencies and tech debt were blocking further expansion and evolution

AFTER

Consolidated eight non-standardized products into one cloud-based platform

Hosting costs cut by 75%

Modernized interface dramatically improved product adoption and engagement, spurring immense growth for its team, revenue, and customer base
