The system has produced a significant competitive advantage in the industry thanks to SumatoSoft’s well-thought opinions.

They shouldered the burden of constantly updating a project management tool with a high level of detail and were committed to producing the best possible solution.

I was impressed by SumatoSoft’s prices, especially for the project I wanted to do and in comparison to the quotes I received from a lot of other companies.

Also, their communication skills were great; it never felt like a long-distance project. It felt like SumatoSoft was working next door because their project manager was always keeping me updated. Initially.

We tried another company that one of our partners had used but they didn’t work out. I feel that SumatoSoft does a better investigation of what we’re asking for. They tell us how they plan to do a task and ask if that works for us. We chose them because their method worked with us.

SumatoSoft is great in every regard including costs, professionalism, transparency, and willingness to guide. I think they were great advisors early on when we weren’t ready with a fully fleshed idea that could go to market.

They know the business and startup scene as well globally.

SumatoSoft is the firm to work with if you want to keep up to high standards. The professional workflows they stick to result in exceptional quality.

Important, they help you think with the business logic of your application and they don’t blindly follow what you are saying. Which is super important. Overall, great skills, good communication, and happy with the results so far.

Together with the team, we have turned the MVP version of the service into a modern full-featured platform for online marketers. We are very satisfied with the work the SumatoSoft team has performed, and we would like to highlight the high level of technical expertise, coherence and efficiency of communication and flexibility in work.

We can say with confidence that SumatoSoft has realized all our ideas into practice.

We are absolutely convinced that cooperation between companies is only successful when based on effective teamwork (and Captain Obvious is on our side!). But the teams may vary on the degree of their cohesion.

They are very sharp and have a high-quality team. I expect quality from people, and they have the kind of team I can work with. They were upfront about everything that needed to be done.

I appreciated that the cost of the project turned out to be smaller than what we expected because they made some very good suggestions. They are very pleasant to work with.

The Rivalfox had the pleasure to work with SumatoSoft in building out core portions of our product, and the results really couldn’t have been better.

SumatoSoft provided us with engineering expertise, enthusiasm and great people that were focused on creating quality features quickly.

We’d like to thank SumatoSoft for the exceptional technical services provided for our business. It should be noted that we started our project’s development with another team, but the communication and the development process in general were not transparent and on schedule. It resulted in a low-quality final product.

SumatoSoft succeeded in building a more manageable solution that is much easier to maintain.

When looking for a strategic IT-partner for the development of a corporate ERP solution, we chose SumatoSoft. The company proved itself a reliable provider of IT services.

Thanks to SumatoSoft can-do attitude, amazing work ethic and willingness to tackle client’s problems as their own, they’ve become an integral part of our team. We’ve been truly impressed with their professionalism and performance and continue to work with a team on developing new applications.

We are completely satisfied with the results of our cooperation and will be happy to recommend SumatoSoft as a reliable and competent partner for development of web-based solutions

From the early stages of the project, SumatoSoft demonstrated a proactive attitude, actively seeking opportunities to enhance the solution and anticipate our needs. They consistently took the initiative to address any potential issues, provide timely updates, and offer solutions to challenges that arose during development. This proactiveness greatly contributed to the project’s success and exceeded our expectations.

Working with SumatoSoft has been an outstanding experience. Their team is not only highly skilled but also incredibly responsive, collaborative, and committed to delivering quality results. I can’t recommend them enough! Thank you team SumatoSoft for bringing my vision to life.

SumatoSoft is flexible, efficient, and extremely good at planning and being proactive. They have also been very proactive in their approach throughout the project, seeking to understand the needs and the reasons behind them before launching into development, which has been helpful for maintaining direction and consistency, especially because the end client is regularly generating new ideas for added features.

Stages of edtech solution development

Our development process is transparent and divided into the following stages:

1
Strategy and planning

This is the first stage, here we define the project goals together with the Client, analyze business requirements, and their students’ needs. We form a product strategy and work plan.

 

2
UX/UI design and prototyping

We develop the structure and prototypes of the user interface. We think through a convenient UX design and create interactive prototypes that allow a Client to test the concept and collect early feedback.

3
Development and integration

After the design is approved, our team moves on to software implementation. We develop functionality in iterations, integrate the platform with the necessary external systems (e.g., payment gateways, CRM/ERP, video services), conduct regular demos, and provide reports to make progress transparent.

4
QA and testing

We conduct end-to-end functional, load, security, and compatibility testing. We also check compliance with industry standards (e.g., SCORM, GDPR, etc.) and eliminate all detected errors to release a flawless product.

 

5
Launch and training

We deploy the ready-made system into operation (on-premise or in cloud infrastructure) and help migrate data. We also conduct training for the Client’s administrators and users to ensure a smooth implementation of the new solution.

6
Support and maintenance

After the launch, we continue to support the product by monitoring the solution operation and promptly responding to a Client’s requests. When necessary, we implement improvements and new functions and scale the system to a growing audience and changing requirements.

Partner for a full-cycle project.

From initial concept to final deployment and support, we handle every stage of your software development journey.

Frequently asked questions

What types of educational software do you develop?

We develop the following kinds of educational software:

  • Learning management systems
  • Digital publishing platforms
  • Social publishing and eLearning platforms
  • Management and administration software
  • Assessment and evaluation software
  • Online communication software
  • Online schooling
  • Hardware prototype development
  • Asynchronous or synchronous eLearning platforms

All SumatoSoft solutions include data security and compatibility: GDPR, ISO practices, encryption, role-based access models, auditing, and WCAG 2.1 accessibility. We implement integrations through LTI/API standards and connectors to SIS/HR/ERP/CRM, which allows you to embed platforms into your IT ecosystem without expensive support operations. If you need a reliable partner for education software development services, we will design and develop a solution for your goals, metrics, and budget.

How do you ensure the software aligns with educational standards and compliance requirements?

We begin with compliance-by-design: at the project initiation stage, we create a register of applicable norms and standards for interoperability, content, accessibility, and privacy. These requirements are traced in a requirements traceability matrix and included in acceptance criteria and CI/CD gates. We simultaneously conduct DPIA/PIA and threat modeling to identify data processing risks and architectural mitigations in advance.
We ensure interoperability and correctness of training scenarios through a combination of architectural solutions and formal verification. Content packages and telemetry are validated against SCORM/xAPI; We connect external educational tools via LTI 1.3 with signature and privileged assertion exchange; assignment banks and results are via QTI; and user, enrollment, and grade synchronization is via OneRoster. We build single sign-on using SAML 2.0/OpenID Connect. We use ADL/1EdTech test suites and automated integration tests; without the successful execution of critical scenarios, the build fails in production.
We implement accessibility as a shift-left practice. Interface and content design is compliant with WCAG 2.1 AA (contrast, focus indicators, keyboard navigation, media alternatives, correct live regions, and form validation). Automatic checks are supplemented by manual audits with NVDA/JAWS/VoiceOver and “keyboard only” scenarios. We support i18n/L10n (including RTL), standardize date/number formats and terminology to ensure compliance doesn’t conflict with usability.
We implement privacy and legal requirements using privacy-by-design principles. Our architecture follows the GDPR: minimizing and limiting processing purposes, lawful grounds, access control, retention periods, and deletion. We implement DSR (access/rectification/deletion) procedures, transaction logs, and managed logging. We ensure data residency (EU/US, etc.), apply SCCs for cross-border transfers, conclude DPAs, and maintain a register of subprocessors. If a project falls within the FERPA/COPPA/CCPA framework, we add specific policies and consent mechanisms.
We ensure security through a secure SDLC and operational controls. We adhere to ISO 27001 and OWASP ASVS/SAMM standards: traffic encryption (TLS 1.2+) and data on storage media (AES-256), key management via KMS/HSM, RBAC/ABAC models, WAF, network segmentation, centralized logs and audit trails, backups, and BCP/DR plans with RPO/RTO targets. Our pipeline includes SAST/DAST/SCA, SBOM, regular dependency updates, external pen tests, and proven IR playbooks with SLAs.
We document quality and validation. We have separate test plans and regression suites for SCORM/xAPI/LTI/QTI and SSO; we conduct UAT with methodologists and instructors using real-world use cases. The Client receives a compliance package: a compliance matrix, test and pen test reports, an accessibility report, a DPIA, a handler registry, and release artifacts. After launch, we support continuous compliance: monitoring, WCAG retests, periodic audits, 1EdTech/W3C/regulatory update reviews, and managed integration changes.
This process makes SumatoSoft solutions predictable for procurement and audits, reduces legal and operational risks, and ensures that the platform actually meets educational standards, not just claims to.

Do you offer mobile and cross-platform learning solutions?

Yes. As part of our education software development services, we design and develop both native mobile solutions and cross-platform learning products, providing a unified experience across phones, tablets, and browsers. SumatoSoft handles the full cycle, from strategy and design to app publishing and support, delivering custom edtech solutions that are scalable and secure.
When the priorities are mobile device capabilities and a high level of interactivity, we offer native apps for iOS and Android. When speed to market and optimal total cost of ownership are important, we use a cross-platform stack (e.g., React Native or Flutter) with a common codebase for mobile platforms. For easy entry and rapid distribution scenarios, we use responsive web Clients and progressive web apps that run directly from the browser.
For enterprise scenarios, private distribution is available through Apple Business Manager and Managed Google Play.
We test on a wide range of devices: functional, load, and network checks, including resilience to unstable connections and limited battery life. We measure response times and resource consumption to ensure a comfortable learning experience even on mass-market devices. After release, we provide support with agreed-upon response times, regular updates, and further functionality development.
The result for the Client is a unified learning environment that is equally user-friendly across all devices, with measurable engagement and course completion, reduced time to market for new modules, and a predictable cost of ownership.

How do you guarantee the security of learner and institutional data?

Student and institutional data security is built into the architecture and development process from day one and is supported by operational controls throughout the solution’s lifecycle.
We operate according to “security-by-design/by-default” principles: we maintain a security management system (in accordance with ISO 27001), maintain an asset and risk register, implement delineation of roles and responsibilities, and strictly manage access and change controls. For projects involving personal data, we conduct data protection impact assessments (DPIAs) and establish contractual guarantees in data processing agreements (DPAs).
We separate environments (dev/test/stage/prod), segment the network, implement the principle of least necessary access, and mandate multi-factor authentication. We integrate single sign-on with corporate identity providers; application-level permissions are defined through role/attribute models, and all administrative actions are logged.
We encrypt traffic and stored data. Keys are managed by the cloud provider with separate access policies. We enable version control and secure secret storage, and use anonymization/pseudonymization for analytics. We comply with GDPR requirements: data minimization, purpose limitation, retention periods, jurisdictional residency, and the exercise of data subject rights.
We apply secure coding standards and mandatory reviews, employ static and dynamic code analysis, dependency scanning, and container scanning. Critical components are covered with automated tests and CI/CD policies. We regularly conduct vulnerability scanning and external penetration tests, remediating findings according to agreed-upon SLAs.
We evaluate external suppliers and integrations, maintain a register of subprocessors, and update contractual and technical security measures. Software is delivered through trusted registries; we use lists of components (SBOM) and integrity control.
Upon request, we also provide a set of evidence: policies and procedures, test results, excerpts from pen test reports, a compliance matrix, availability artifacts, and DPA samples. This approach reduces legal and operational risks, facilitates audits, and ensures predictable solution operation.
