Overview

When Schumacher College approached us to collaborate on their Virtual Learning Environment (VLE), they had a vision of a digital space that mirrored their principles of diversity, progressiveness, and sustainability. Our role was to bring that vision to life through a seamless integration of their website, learning platform, and customer relationship management (CRM) system. The college had always valued hands-on learning and social responsibility, and they wanted their online presence to reflect the same ethos. We took on the challenge of building a digital ecosystem that would resonate with their values.

Over the course of several years, we provided ongoing technical support and development services to ensure that Schumacher College's website and VLE ran smoothly. Our team worked closely with their educators and administrators, adapting to their evolving needs while maintaining the stability and security of their digital infrastructure. This long-term relationship was founded on a shared commitment to sustainability, both in terms of technology and the environment. As Schumacher College continued to grow, we helped them expand their digital footprint without compromising their principles.

The Drupal-based website we developed was designed to be flexible and scalable, allowing Schumacher College to easily update content and add new features as required. We also ensured that the CRM system integrated seamlessly with their other digital tools, providing a unified view of student and faculty interactions. This level of integration not only enhanced the college's ability to manage relationships but also contributed to a more cohesive online learning experience for students. By leveraging the latest technologies, we helped Schumacher College stay ahead in a rapidly changing educational landscape.

Our partnership with Schumacher College was more than just a business relationship—it was a collaboration rooted in shared values. We admired their commitment to promoting diversity and environmental sustainability, and we strove to reflect those same qualities in our work. By offering reactive support and proactive development services, we built a digital platform that could evolve with the college's needs, ensuring that their message of social responsibility and ecological awareness reached a broader audience. Together, we demonstrated that technology and sustainability could coexist in harmony, paving the way for a brighter, more connected future.
