Technical Consulting

The inherent openness in ANGEL products makes it possible for an organization to control and extend the products to meet institution-specific needs. While we provide tools that allow an administrator or developer to do their own customization, ANGEL Learning can also provide resources to extend an organization’s staff when and where it is necessary. Our technical consultants have helped a variety of organizations customize ANGEL to add capabilities and integrate ANGEL into the overall enterprise.

Our experienced consultants can help you with the entire customization process or the individual parts you choose. We can define requirements, analyze solutions, implement solutions using ANGEL APIs and other technologies, test, and deploy the capabilities.

Data Integration Design and Implementation

Whatever you want to accomplish, we're here to help.
