The conversation
It should just work.
Leslie describes a partner facing a 300-page RFP. KITABOO took the digital and student-data sections off its hands, tailored the answers to the district, and was ready well before the deadline, with the team in India working overnight on questions raised during US hours. The partner won a multi-million dollar contract that Leslie says could triple in size over the next few years, and KITABOO’s legal team helped finalize it.
From there the session turns to what happens after the win: a three-step implementation built around the district’s calendar, the integrations schools ask for, and onboarding that gets teachers to a quick win. Attendees answered polls and sent questions through the hour, and Bala put them to Leslie.
