Toptal empowers remote students to explore the world.
Challenge: When COVID-19 shelter-in-place orders made field trips impossible, geology professors needed a solution to provide remote learners with the simulation of field experience.
Impact: Toptal’s work enabled hundreds of students to simultaneously explore the digital terrain and engage in real-time voice and video communication. The updated software launched in just three months, in time for a new semester.
The end result was not only better to look at, but it was also more secure, and the code was cleaner and better integrated with the business logic.
