Emeritus

Client

Emeritus is an online education platform offering courses from top-rated universities. It is committed to teaching the skills of the future by making high-quality education accessible and affordable to individuals, companies, and governments worldwide. Students can accelerate their careers by enrolling and receiving certification from a university of their choosing via globally connected classrooms.

‍

Objectives

Emeritus enlisted Rootstrap to lead its engineering team, as it had a dated web application and limited tech resources. Emeritus needed to transition away from an underperforming technical partner seamlessly. The Emeritus Enrollment Engine needed a complete rebuild to improve website performance and functionality to avoid platform crashes that had been occurring.

‍

The Solution

Rootstrap's developers successfully migrated the previous Emeritus system onto a new and improved platform while maintaining website functionality.

‍

Core Platform Updates:

• New back and frontends on higher-performing Ruby on Rails and React applications.
• An SSO flow (single sign-on flow feature) to improve the Enrollment Engine functionality.
• Subdomains to create unique white-label experiences for each university partner.

‍

Key Technologies Used:

• Ruby on Rails & ReactJS
• Python & Node.JS
• Django & Java
• Net Core & Swift
• Angular & Solidity
• Kotlin, Elixir, & Phoenix

‍

The Success Story

‍

After the launch of the revamped platform, Emeritus saw an 18.1% increase in revenue in just six months, courtesy of its increased conversion rates.

Our client also saw a 49% increase in enrollments after our Emeritus Enrollment Engine updates drastically improved the system’s performance.
