Our very first application development contract was for a robust permissions-based platform accessed via Blackberry devices. Subsequently, we developed a highly-scalable, secure cloud hosting model four years before cloud computing became a technology market rush. Upon award of our first state-wide technical services contract in Tennessee, we began serving 1,746 schools with approximately 950,000 students and 64,000 teachers. We manage assessment data statewide, from ordering testing booklets to delivering critical high-stakes assessment scores. This system uses dozens of standard roles, from the state level down to the teacher level (e.g. District NAEP Coordinator, ELL Coordinator, School Administrator, Building Testing Coordinator), with thousands of possible custom permissions variations. There are over 70,000 users of the system. And they remain our client to this day. Marty Reed – President & CEO RANDA Solutions, Inc. RANDA Solutions has been working in education technology since its inception. Initially managing infrastructure to support large-scale assessments, our offering developed into so much more over the years. RANDA constantly strives for innovation in all of the markets it has worked in — including the early development of a cloud hosting model four years before cloud computing became a technology market rush. In this same spirit of invention, RANDA provides fresh innovation for education (NOUN 1. Origination: the act or process of inventing or introducing something new, 2. New idea or method: a new invention or way of doing something). This isn’t just a marketing concept or buzzword of the day. It is the path our market must take to provide a basis for learning and evaluation of knowledge, both today and for the next generation of students. We are passionate about being a central part of improving education in America. We want to be a catalyst for change, a vital contributor to empowering educators. The technology is here. The time is now — if we are willing to stretch beyond the existing paradigm. Technology is not a panacea for all the challenges ahead. But to those who look ahead, to those who embrace the vision of what can be done, and to those who are willing to roll up their sleeves and work, this is not technology for technology’s sake.
