Improved efficiency reduced the cycle time for specific tasks from over 13 days to just 2-3 days.
Migration to a scalable, centralised data platform enabling superior data insights.
Generative AI streamlined exam paper creation, improving 10 x productivity.
Henry Keen, CTO, Build Circle
BPP recognised that its legacy infrastructure and dispersed data systems were increasingly holding the organisation back from scaling and innovating effectively. Their on-premise solutions struggled to keep pace with growing data volumes, while critical information remained siloed across departments, making insights slow and cumbersome to obtain.
At the same time, development and content-creation workflows were inefficient: building, reviewing and finalising educational materials required lengthy cycles which limited BPP’s ability to respond quickly to market demands and deliver new, high-quality content at pace.
BPP engaged Build Circle to implement a comprehensive digital modernisation programme. This included migrating to a cloud-based data architecture (leveraging platforms such as Snowflake) to centralise data, eliminate silos and enable advanced analytics. Alongside this, Build Circle introduced a generative AI solution tailored for BPP’s educational content: working with subject matter experts, they developed AI-models to automate the creation of multiple-choice questions and streamline content workflows.
Further, the development processes were overhauled by adopting agile “Create-Test-Learn” methodologies, improving DevOps practices, and introducing modern web systems and a unified design system for consistent and responsive student experiences.
Cycle Time Reduction:
The time required for specific tasks, such as content creation and review, plunged from over 13 days down to just 2-3 days.
10× Productivity Boost:
The generative AI content-creation solution allowed question production to increase dramatically, educators and SMEs were able to produce many more high-quality items in the same time.
Scalable, Centralised Data Platform:
With the migration to Snowflake and cloud hosting, BPP now had a unified repository for data and analytics, enabling faster, data-driven decision-making across the business.
Modernised Student Experience & Website:
The new hybrid website, hosted on AWS and built with Next.js plus a unified design system, provided a scalable, faster, and more engaging interface for students and staff alike.
BPP partnered with Build Circle to overhaul its legacy systems, centralise its data architecture, introduce generative AI for educational content creation and modernise its web and development workflows. The transformation drove a dramatic reduction in cycle times (from 13+ days to 2-3 days), boosted productivity ten-fold, delivered a scalable data platform and a refined digital student experience, enabling BPP to compete more effectively and innovate rapidly in EdTech.
BPP’s leadership recognised that addressing these deeply rooted challenges was essential for achieving its growth goals and maintaining its position as a leader in the Edtech space. Engaging with Build Circle's technology consultancy services was a strategic move to drive business growth.
