Pearson ERPI
Pearson ERPI is a french-language, multi-subject print and digital educational resource publisher based in Québec. We’ve partnered with Pearson ERPI since 2011 to deliver multiple websites with deep integrations to their ecommerce website and online product access portal that serves over a million users annually throughout Canada. We also built a search system that allows users to search the website's ~55k records with search queries that run under 10 milliseconds.

We’ve worked with Foster Made for nearly 10 years, and continue to be impressed with their professionalism, collaboration, and communication. Our organizational structure and industry are not easily grasped, but Foster Made has put forth the effort both initially and throughout our partnership to learn our “language” and types of users to really enhance our online presence.
