Case Study: Blackboard saves $150K and 5,000 developer hours with Kloudless

Blackboard - Customer Case Study

Blackboard, a leading education technology platform used by millions of learners and educators worldwide, needed a scalable way to manage cloud storage integrations without relying on costly, hard-to-maintain bespoke builds. Its team struggled with version upkeep and frequent API changes, especially for OneDrive, which created hundreds of support tickets and thousands of hours of engineering work.

To solve this, Blackboard implemented Kloudless and its File Storage API to connect Blackboard Learn with services like Box, Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive, and SkyDrive through a single integration. With Kloudless, Blackboard saved an estimated $150,000 and 5,000 developer hours per year, added five stable integrations in days, and reduced maintenance overhead while keeping sensitive student data secure.
