Case Study: Lightspeed Systems boosts school online safety with Microsoft Content Moderator

A cloud-based management system that brings savings and growth

Lightspeed Systems, a provider of software tools for K-12 schools, sought to enhance its web filtering products to more accurately identify and block adult or racy images on websites to maintain a safe online environment for students. To address this challenge, the company turned to Microsoft and its Content Moderator API from Microsoft Cognitive Services.

By integrating Microsoft's Content Moderator Image Moderation API, Lightspeed Systems significantly improved its content-monitoring performance. The solution was easily incorporated into their existing products, resulting in a more reliable and accurate categorization of images with fewer false positives. This allowed Lightspeed to better serve its 6,500 school districts, boosting customer satisfaction by ensuring inappropriate materials are kept away from students.
