Case Study: Leading Global Education Fundation achieves 91% solution cost reduction with Hexaware's cloud-based malpractice check

Hexaware’s cloud-based malpractice check solution reduces an estimated 91% solution cost for a leading global education foundation

Leading Global Education Fundation is a not-for-profit educational foundation serving 4,000+ schools, 70,000+ educators and over a million students annually. Facing more than 200,000 essay submissions (growing ~30% yearly), the customer needed a scalable, cost‑effective malpractice detection solution after an existing service could only compare 5,000 documents at a time, cost $450,000 per year and required 20 person‑days to produce reports.

Hexaware built a cloud‑based malpractice check using its Context+ components (S3 connector, content extractor and pair‑wise similarity engine) on an elastic Hadoop infrastructure, delivering comprehensive, multi‑language similarity checks and online match reports. Hexaware’s solution provided full coverage of submissions, removed manual effort, and is estimated to reduce annual solution costs by 91% while enabling scalable on‑demand processing and improved adherence to academic honesty.
