"Cefar has worked hand in hand with the Penstripe team to integrate an external API and system which aids customers and team members in the creation of custom educational resources to support students, teachers, and parents. The main objective was a time-sensitive, seamless, proactive approach, which concluded with no downtime or impact on the end users whilst beating projected deadlines. We provided this solution for Penstripe and the team whilst creating a clear and consistent timeline and communication base.
