Case Study: Michigan Colleges Online achieves faster, more reliable registration with Progress Kendo UI

Michigan Colleges Online launches robust registration service in less than nine months with Progress Software

Michigan Colleges Online (MCO), an initiative of the Michigan Community College Association, needed to build a new three-tiered web service from scratch to handle complex student registration workflows and data administration. The challenge was to create an intuitive, app-like user interface that could manage intricate backend processes for online education across multiple colleges. They turned to Progress Software and its Kendo UI framework for a solution.

By implementing Progress's Kendo UI, the team rapidly developed a robust registration service with rich widgets and a powerful Grid tool that modeled complex business workflows. The solution resulted in a high-quality site completed in under nine months, which is used by roughly 185 administrators and thousands of students. Progress's tools enabled a superior user experience, fast development, and reliable performance, a significant improvement over the legacy system.
